Many ionic crystals dissove in water because

A

Water is an amphiprotic solvent

B

Water is a high boiling liquid

C

The process is accompanied by a positive heat of solution

D

Water decreases the interionic attraction in the crystal lattice due to salvation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Water is a polar solvent so it decreases the interionic attraction in the crystal lattice due to solvation.
