← ScienceWhich failure occurs when sodium chloride granules experience extreme humidity?
A)Deliquescence forms a saturated solution✓
B)Efflorescence causes crystalline powder
C)Sublimation directly forms sodium vapor
D)Desiccation decreases ionic conductivity
💡 Explanation
Deliquescence occurs because ionic compounds like NaCl absorb moisture from air when humidity is high, forming a saturated solution; therefore the salt dissolves, rather than efflorescing (losing water) or undergoing phase transitions.
