← ScienceWhich outcome results when high humidity compromises lithium chloride desiccant?
A)Deliquescence causes solution runoff✓
B)Increased Van der Waals forces emerge
C)Covalent bond saturation is reached
D)Hydrogen bond crosslinking gets stronger
💡 Explanation
Deliquescence causes saturated LiCl solution runoff because the humidity provides water molecules, dropping ionic lattice energy. This decreases electrostatic attraction, leading to dissolution rather than maintaining solid form due to covalent or hydrogen bonds alone.
