Which mechanism causes increased dissolving of NaCl when ammonia exceeds saturation?

A)Hydrogen bonding complex solvates ions
B)Increased polarity overcomes lattice energy
C)Ion-dipole interactions favor solvation
D)Chelation enhances miscibility unexpectedly

💡 Explanation

The ammonia solution forms a stabilized complex between hydrogen atoms of NH3 and chloride, therefore enhanced dissolving occurs because hydrogen bonding reduces attractive forces in the NaCl lattice rather than pure ion-dipole weakening.
