Step-by-step explanation:

For dissolving dry mortar on floor tiles, you can use concrete and mortar dissolver. You can find this product at your local hardware store or online12.

For removing KMnO stains, you can use vinegar. Mix vinegar with water and spray or pour it on the tile surface. Let the vinegar water set in for a few minutes, then sponge the entire area to get it as clean as possible. Next, use a razor blade or scraper to peel up the mortar. Be careful not to gouge or scratch the tiles3.

KMnO is potassium permanganate. it makes water drinkable if it's polluted

For drying acid anhydrides, you can use calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is a hygroscopic substance that absorbs moisture from the air and can be used as a desiccant.

desiccants keeps things dry so they last longer like food & clothes
