← ScienceWhich consequence results when atmospheric humidity drastically increases around NaCl road salt?
A)Ion mobility and electrical conductivity increase✓
B)Salt crystal lattice integrity significantly strengthens
C)Oxygen partial pressure inside the salt rises
D)Endothermic dissolution absorbs ambient heat
💡 Explanation
Increased humidity causes the salt to dissolve, increasing ion mobility; this Dissolution follows Le Chatelier's principle, because increased ion solvation in water enhances conductivity. This rather than structural reinforcement occurs, where internal crystal integrity would be the outcome given compression.
