A Small amount of silica gel and that of anhyd. . . Ca Cl_(2) are placed separately in two comers of vessel confaining water vapour. What phenomena will occur ?

A small amount of water and its saturated vapour are enclosed in a vessel at a temperature t = 100^@C . How much (in per cent) will the mass of the saturated vapour increase if the temperature of the system goes up by Delta T = 1.5 K ? Assume that the vapour is an ideal gas and the specific volume of water is negligible as compared to that vapour.
