There is no standard quantitative definition of hygroscopicity, so generally the qualification of hygroscopic and non-hygroscopic is determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, pharmaceuticals that pick up more than 5% by mass, between 40 and 90% relative humidity at 25 °C, are described as hygroscopic, while materials that pick up less ...
[2] [3] This is the opposite use of a hygroscopic material where it is used as a desiccant used to draw moisture away. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, humectants can be used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of a chemical compound's active ingredients, increasing the active ingredients' ability to penetrate skin, or its ...
Gold(III) chloride was first prepared in 1666 by Robert Boyle by the reaction of metallic gold and chlorine gas at 180 °C: [1] [6] [7] 2 Au + 3 Cl 2 → Au 2 Cl 6. This method is the most common method of preparing gold(III) chloride. It can also be prepared by reacting gold powder with iodine monochloride: [5] 2 Au + 6 ICl → 2 AuCl 3 + 3 I 2
The ratio of the number of discrete constituent particles (such as molecules, atoms, or ions) to the amount of a substance, defined as exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1. Avogadro number The number of discrete constituent particles in one mole of a substance, defined as exactly 6.02214076 × 10 23.
Add it up, and it's the worst two-game stretch in Los Angeles Lakers history. The Lakers lost to the Heat 134-93 on Wednesday, that loss coming two days after a 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sent his condolences to the families of the victims in a post to social media Monday, and said his government will support local authorities in dealing with ...
Many substances are hygroscopic, meaning they attract water, usually in proportion to the relative humidity or above a critical relative humidity. Such substances include cotton, paper, cellulose, other wood products, sugar, calcium oxide (burned lime) and many chemicals and fertilizers. Industries that use these materials are concerned with ...
