Drying agent removes molecules of water or moisture from substances while dehydrating agent removes elements of water from

compounds.

Drying agent removes water from a substance without affecting the chemical composition while a dehydrating agent removes element of water from a substance and
affects the chemical composition
Drying agent Quicklime/Calcium chloride/Copper (II) oxide/Silica gel
Dehydrating agent Conc. tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid

A dehydrating agent is a substance that dries or removes water from a material. In chemical reactions where
dehydration occurs, the reacting molecule loses a molecule of water. Sulfuric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid, hot
aluminum oxide, and hot ceramic are common dehydrating agents in these types of chemical reactions.
Distinguish between saturated and unsaturated solution.

At a particular temperature a saturated solution cannot dissolve any more

solute but an unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute.
