← ScienceWhich outcome arises when industrial salt-dissolving equipment experiences overheating?
A)Increased ionic mobility and conductivity✓
B)Decreased lattice energy of dissociation
C)Covalent bond disruption in solution
D)Hydrogen bond formation in dissolved salt
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature causes *increased ionic agitation*, which enhances the mobility of ions in solution. Therefore, the solution's electrolytic conductivity rises, rather than decreased lattice energy, which is a fixed property, rather than affects on covalent or hydrogen bonds as such are not typically affected substantially.
