An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

a

The mass of a sample of  Na2SO4(s)  kept in a large confinement having partial pressure of water 0.04 atm,  increases till it attains a constant weight.

b

Na2SO4.10H2O(s)  effloresces at a relative humidity below 5%.

c

The mass of a sample of  Na2SO4.10H2O(s) kept in a large confinement having partial pressure of water  0.01 atm, decreases till it attains a constant weight.

d

Na2SO4(s)  can be used to dehumidify atmosphere having relative humidity more than 5%.

answer is C.

Detailed Solution

Na2SO4.10H2O(s) Na2SO4(s)+10 H2O(g); Kp=1.024×1027atm10

p(H2O)=0.002 atm

Corresponding  RH=(0.002/0.04)×100=5%
Na2SO4.10H2O(s)  effloresces below a RH of 5%
Na2SO4(s)  keeps on absorbing moisture, till RH is reduced to 5%.
 If in air, p(H2O)<0.002 atm Na2SO4.10H2O(s) effloresces.
If in air,  p(H2O)>0.002 atm Na2SO4(s) absorbs water (acts as a dehumidifier)
