 Marijuana Bhang or marijuana is a commonly used drug worldwide. According to the World Drug Report by the United Nations, the number of people who are using bhang or marijuana is high as two hundred and thirty-eight million. Therefore, this indicates that marijuana users are spread out globally. Based on the Report of the United Nation, about one hundred and thirty-five countries are engaging in the cultivation of marijuana.

Answering this question requires one to understand the meaning of desiccant and the chemistry of the provided compounds. Desiccant is a hygroscopic material. It prompts and keeps the state of dryness in its vicinity. This implies that it absorbs water.  The characteristics of desiccant hinge on the coordination number of the central atom in complex compounds. The coordination number is the number of molecules of water in the propinquity of the neighboring central metal ion or atom. Moreover, it can be defined as the number of donor atoms bonded to a central metal atom or ion. The coordination sphere contains a central atom or ion and ligands attached to it. The brackets in complex formula encircle coordination sphere. Therefore, this shows that species outside the brackets are not part of the coordinat...
