← ScienceWhich failure results when sodium chloride experiences hydrolytic cleavage?
A)Formation of hydrochloric acid✓
B)Crystalline structure becomes amorphous
C)Change in the refractive index
D)Increased electrical conductivity occurs
💡 Explanation
Hydrolytic cleavage of NaCl produces NaOH and HCl because water molecules dissociate and react; therefore, hydrochloric acid is created in solution rather than other lattice structure modifications or physical changes since ionic bonds react with water.
