Sodium chloride (KCl) in water can be described by any EXCEPT which of the following? A) K⁺ and Cl^-form B) a solute C) ionized D) forms hydrophobic interactions E) dissolved

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium chloride (KCl) dissolves in water and forms ions, which are ionized in water. Therefore, choice A, B, C, and E are all correct statements about sodium chloride in water. However, KCl does not form hydrophobic interactions in water because both sodium and chloride ions are polar and are attracted to the polar water molecules. Therefore, choice D is not an accurate description of KCl in water.
