What does dehydration cause?

Hey can you me with this i really need y’all

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Butane gas reacts with oxygen gas to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor (gas). if you mix butane and oxygen in the correct stoichiometric ratio, and if the total pressure of the mixture is 390 mmhg, what is the pressure (in mmhg) of water vapor after the reaction is completed (temperature and volume do not change).
