Which outcome occurs when a desiccant such as silica gel reaches moisture saturation?

💡 Explanation

Moisture saturation inhibits further adsorption because the attractive surface area reduces after vapor phase equilibrium achieves its maximum threshold by reversible adsorption; therefore water vapor is no longer efficiently removed, rather than an exothermic effect occurring.
