Verified by Experts

Saline hydires (e.g., NaOH, CaH_(2) etc.) absorb water and react with it as follows.
`" " NaH(s)+H_(2)o(l) to NaOH(aq)+H_(2)(g)`
`" " CaH_(2)(s)+2H_(2)O(l) to Ca(OH)_(2)(aq)+H_(2)(g)`
The hydrogen escapes leaving behind metal hrdroxides. Thus, these hydrides can be used to remove traces of water
