That moment when magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) walks into your lab and steals all your water molecules! Chemists know the pain—this desiccant is so hygroscopic it'll literally snatch moisture from your reaction, leaving you staring in disbelief. Epsom salt doesn't care about your synthesis plans; it's just doing what it does best: creating anhydrous conditions whether you wanted them or not. Next time, store your MgSO₄ properly unless you're trying to dry out your entire lab!
