← ScienceWhich phenomenon reduces conductivity within a molten ionic salt?
A)Ion-pair formation decreases mobility✓
B)Increased solvation enhances ion transport
C)Temperature reduction raises kinetic energy
D)Decreasing viscosity lowers ionic friction
💡 Explanation
Ion-pair formation lowers the effective charge carriers because the electrostatic attraction binds oppositely charged ions. This reduces ionic mobility, thereby decreasing conductivity; therefore, the conductivity decreases, rather than increases due to greater temperature.
