← ScienceWhich consequence results when high humidity compromises deicing salts?
A)Caking reduces deicing salt effectiveness✓
B)Runoff increases, spreading contamination widely
C)Chloride ions remain soluble indefinitely
D)Increased friction maximizes tire traction
💡 Explanation
Caking compromises effectiveness. When deicing salts like NaCl absorb moisture, recrystallization during drying bridges salt particles together via ionic bonds creating larger clumps preventing even distribution on surfaces, because decreasing surface area reduces dissolution; therefore, salting efficiency diminishes, rather than spreading ions further.
