Weighed salts Y and Z were left exposed in the laboratory overnight. In the morning Y had gained weight, and Z had become liquid. What conclusion could be drawn about the nature of the two salts?
Z is efflorescent
Y and Z are efflorescent
Y and Z are deliquescent
Y and Z are hygroscopic
Y is deliquescent
