← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a desiccant's deliquescence point is reached?
A)Surface tension will decrease significantly✓
B)Heat transfer rate sharply decreases
C)Swelling causes mechanical cracking increases
D)The desiccant begins spontaneous recrystallization
💡 Explanation
Reaching the deliquescence point triggers liquefaction via surface adsorption, because **hygroscopic action** absorbs water surpassing its capacity; therefore, surface tension changes rather than crystallization, because melting is happening rather than a phase reorganization.
