Which outcome occurs when high humidity weakens road-salt effectiveness?

💡 Explanation

The salt's effectiveness decreases because hydration shells form; the mechanism is ion hydration. Water molecules cluster around Na+ and Cl- ions, therefore less salt dissolves; leading to reduced ice melting rather than enhanced melting based on lattice energy alone.
