← ScienceWhich mechanism inhibits crystal growth in saturated ionic solutions?
A)Ion pairing reduces free ion mobility✓
B)Increasing temperature raises solubility limits
C)Common-ion effect alters pH balance
D)Counterions fully shield surface charges
💡 Explanation
Precipitation slows because ion pairing, arising from electrostatic attraction, results in decreased mobility hindering integration into the crystal lattice; therefore, crystal growth inhibition is a consequence, rather than altered pH or temperature effects applying perfectly.
