Below what relative humidity does Z·2H2O lose water spontaneously at this temperature?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

For the Z hydrate, pH2O,eq=√(2.50×10-5)=0.005 atm. Dehydration is favoured when the atmospheric water pressure is smaller than 0.005 atm.

The limiting relative humidity is 100(0.005/0.050)=10%.

The hydrate therefore loses water below 10% relative humidity.

This is option (c).
