← ScienceWhat outcome results from disrupting the hydration shell of dissolved ionic salt under high pressure?
A)Reduced ion mobility conductivity decreases.✓
B)Increased solubility due to compression.
C)Accelerated corrosion of metal containers.
D)Selective precipitation of specific ions.
💡 Explanation
When an ionic salt solution is subjected to very high pressure, the structured hydration shell gets disrupted due to the compression hindering ion solvation process, leading to decreased mobility of ions. Therefore ion mobility will decrease, rather than increased solubility, corrosion, or precipitation if the shell remained intact and undisturbed.
