← ScienceWhich consequence results when high water content overwhelms deicing salts?
A)Hydration prevents complete ionic dissociation✓
B)The melting point remains unaffected
C)Exothermic formation generates localized overheating
D)Electrostatic repulsion increases ice adhesion
💡 Explanation
Water reduces the effectiveness of deicers because hydration shell formation increases the distance between ions reducing the effectiveness of ionic dissociation; therefore ice melting will become less efficient rather than exothermic reactions, thus decreasing adhesion.
