Well, it is advisable to choose Option A
All Deliquescence substance are Hygroscopic but not all Hygroscopic substance are Deliquescence
Note: A blue solid, and it those not dissolve and form a solution, but absorb moisture that is why it weight increase.... Hydroscopic
no the answer is A ....... both deliquescent and hygroscopic substances absorb moisture from the atmosphere . hygroscopic subtsances does not form solutions while deliquescent substances form solutions note that the substance originally was blue but later changed to pink because it has formed a solution so its a deliquescent substance
the substance won't be a solid anymore if it is deliquescent, it only remains a solid when it is hygroscopic
Thank you all for your contributions. It is well appreciated. Correction has been effected.
C. has some molecules of water of crystallization
Explanation: The increase in weight suggests that substance T gained mass, which typically occurs when a substance absorbs water. This suggests that substance T has some molecules of water of crystallization.
