Step-by-step explanation:

In normal atmosphere, analytical reagents may absorb water molecules that may affect the results of chemical reactions. So, in order to get accurate results from these analytical regents, they must be stored in a dessicated atmosphere or heated before being used so that the water molecules must dry away.
