← ScienceWhich consequence results when road salt concentration increases?
A)Ionic conductivity melts bridge concrete
B)Vehicle corrosion rate accelerates sharply✓
C)Surface tension on road increases
D)Water's heat capacity will moderately increase
💡 Explanation
Increased road salt concentration leads to accelerated corrosion because electrochemical corrosion is enhanced via ionic conduction between anodic and cathodic regions on the vehicle's metal; therefore the car corrodes faster, rather than the concrete melting due to unrelated processes.
