The health care costs of obesity in the U.S. were estimated to be as high as $190 billion in 2005, (2) a number that is double earlier estimates, and that is expected to rise, along with obesity rates, over the coming decades. This includes money spent directly on medical care and prescription drugs related to obesity.
Ferric chloride is a red-orange solid that has hygroscopic properties. Chemical Formula: FeCl 3. Layman's explanation: Ferric chloride is a corrosive chemical, thus, it is used to deodorize sewage and industrial waste by partially reducing to ferrous chloride.It is also employed as an engraving reagent on metal surfaces. Other applications include its use as a flocculating agent in water treatment.hemical Formula: FeCl 3.

Not only is sulfuric acid hygroscopic in concentrated form but its solutions are hygroscopic down to concentrations of 10% v/v or below. A hygroscopic material will tend to become damp and cakey when exposed to moist air (such as the salt inside salt shakers during humid weather).
