What's the difference between deliquescence and deliquescent?

Deliquescence


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of deliquescing or liquefying; process by which anything deliquesces; tendency to melt.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a deliquescent chemical widely used for a variety of procedures.
  • (2) The process, known as deliquescence, is seen in the Atacama desert, where the resulting damp patches are the only known place for microbes to live.
  • (3) But as they talk, we can feel that deliquescing fish.
  • (4) This paper extends earlier work from this laboratory concerning the sorption kinetics of water vapor on deliquescent water-soluble substances to mixtures of these solids.
  • (5) It is concluded that water-soluble deliquescent substances, normally encountered in pharmaceutical dosage forms, rapidly form saturated aqueous solutions in the aqueous film formed as water vapor uptake proceeds, and that the water uptake rate can be predicted a priori from known and experimentally determinable parameters using the heat transport model.
  • (6) Their walls were deliquescent, but some of them were rather persistent.
  • (7) Nephelometric sensing of the deliquescence of ammonium sulfate produced by the reaction of sulfuric acid or ammonium bisulfate aerosol with ammonia provides a means for detecting these substances in air.
  • (8) In group II multifocal deliquescent necrosis in the liver, numerous, small perivascular and extravascular foci of coagulative-deliquescent necrosis with the inflammatory and the resorptive reactions were noted.
  • (9) Dulwich exhibits Hero and Leandro , painted like those landscape panels in 1985 – their dribbles and fingerworking here orchestrated into a deliquescent collapse of mist-greys and cerise.
  • (10) Local crude ingredients are also subject to adulteration, deliquescence, and unwanted natural contaminants.
  • (11) Water vapor sorption on unground and ground samples of sodium chloride and sodium salicylate at relative humidities below RHo, that at which deliquescence is initiated, has been measured.

Deliquescent


Definition:

  • (a.) Dissolving; liquefying by contact with the air; capable of attracting moisture from the atmosphere and becoming liquid; as, deliquescent salts.
  • (a.) Branching so that the stem is lost in branches, as in most deciduous trees.
