← ScienceWhich consequence results when differential hydration of mixed salts?
A)Cement efflorescence on brickwork develops✓
B)Electrostatic discharge events intensify greatly
C)Hydrogen embrittlement of steel progresses onwards
D)Supercooled meta-stable states spontaneously crystallize
💡 Explanation
Cement efflorescence occurs because differential hydration causes ions to dissolve and migrate to the surface by **capillary action**, where they react with carbon dioxide forming a salt precipitate; therefore efflorescence develops, rather than other phenomena requiring different processes.
