Verified by Experts

(i) Common salt contains the impurity of magnesium chloride `(MgCl_(2))` which is of deliquescent nature. When exposed to atmosphere, it becomes moist. Therefore common salt becomes sticky during the rainy reason.
(ii) Blue vitriol `(CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O)` upon heating changes to anhydrous copper sulphate `(CuSO_(4))` which is white in colour.
(iii) Concentrated sulphuric acid is highly hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture from air and gets diluted. Sonce the volume increases, the acid starts following out of the bottle.
