← ScienceWhich outcome hinders crystal growth in sodium chloride solution?
A)High concentration of common ions✓
B)Increased temperature of the solution
C)Slow introduction of seed crystal
D)Presence of lattice defects
💡 Explanation
Seeding NaCl initiates crystal growth; supersaturation due to increased ionic concentration causes common ion effect, inhibiting solubility, therefore hindering growth rather than promoting it like temperature would rather than crystal seeding.
