← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when hygroscopic ionic salts deliquesce?
A)Surface conductivity increases significantly✓
B)Crystalline structure becomes more stable
C)Internal temperature drops drastically
D)Vapor pressure above decreases
💡 Explanation
Surface conductivity rises because deliquescence causes ions to dissolve in adsorbed water, creating an electrolytic surface layer due to ionic dissociation; therefore conductivity increases, rather than being stable or decreasing pressure which would happen under different solvation conditions.
