Which anhydrous salt is the most effective drying agent at this temperature?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
The equilibrium water pressure is determined by taking the appropriate root of each Kp value. The partial pressures for X, Y, and Z are 0.010 atm, 0.020 atm, and 0.005 atm, respectively.
A drying agent with the lowest equilibrium water pressure will leave the least amount of moisture in the gas.
Therefore, salt Z is the most effective drying agent.
This corresponds to option (a).
