Do drying agents dissolve in glycerol?
Accepted Answer
Drying agents are typically used to remove water from solutions or solvents. Glycerol is a highly hygroscopic compound, meaning it readily absorbs water. Therefore, a drying agent would likely not dissolve in glycerol. Instead, the drying agent would react with the absorbed water in glycerol, forming a new compound, such as a hydrate.
