← ScienceWhich crystallization risk increases as salt concentration rises?
A)Homogeneous nucleation becomes more probable✓
B)Solvent inclusion causes crystal defects
C)Supersaturation reduces nucleation energy
D)Ostwald ripening minimizes surface energy
💡 Explanation
Increased salt concentration promotes ion clustering, which increases homogeneous nucleation because it reduces the energy barrier for the formation of new crystal nuclei. Therefore, many small crystals form rather than fewer large ones, which would result from heterogeneous nucleation.
