The more effective drying agent should be identified among
Concept introduction:
Drying agents are used to remove water from organic solvents. Mostly anhydrous drying agents are used that react with water to form insoluble hydrates in organic solvents and can be easily removed by filtration. Parameters that are considered to choose an effective drying agent are as follows:
- Capacity: The maximum number of moles of water molecules that can be trapped by a salt or drying agent defines its capacity.
- Efficiency: The amount of water left behind in the organic solvent after the drying process is called efficiency.
- Speed of removal of water: Time taken by the drying agent to form hydrate determines the speed of removal of water.
- Chemical inertness: Drying agents should be chemically inert that is it should not react with the organic solvent and the organic compounds dissolved in it.

- Answer each question and justify your answer by doing ALL of the following: Identify the type of substance and important interpartide force(s) for both substances. Explain how you know (substances and forces). For each molecular substance, fully justify how you know if it is polar or nonpolar. Provide a Lewis structure, a geometry sketch, calculation of AEN| values, and a discussion of symmetry. Identify which of the two substances has stronger interparticle forces. If they have the same type of interparticle force, explain how you know which is stronger. Answer the question by connecting the property asked about to strength of interparticle forces. Use complete sentences, write all words out (no abbreviations) and be specific and complete with all explanations.
