← ScienceWhich outcome results when a strong anhydrous solvent solvates NaCl?
A)Ion pairing strength will increase✓
B)Increased conductivity through ion solvation
C)Covalent character of salt increases
D)Solubility decreases despite added solvent
💡 Explanation
Ion pairing strength increases because preferential solvation drives individual ions closer via the desolvation by coordinating to the solvent, increasing electrostatic attraction and the strength of individual ionic bonds; therefore, ion pairs exist longer, rather than fully dissociating into solution.
