Hello, 

Can you please help me with calculation of percentage of water absorption by hygroscopic powder. 

If material increase water content by 0.36% in 5h with 23% average air moisture, by how much water content will increase in same time but with 80% average air moisture. 

Thanks for all the help

My question was a joke.

 

Your question cannot be answered without further information.

I would be inclined to say zero because the dessicant has become saturated.

What would you need to know to be able to answer my question. Original water content was 2% before exposure.

I think the best thing would be a curve showing how the take-up of water varied over the 5 hours. One would expect an exponential of some kind, not a straight line.

Obviously a lot depends how how much dessicant you have, since as @studiotpoints out, if it is a small amount it could get saturated. 

Is this a homework question, or a real scenario that you have?
