When KCl dissolves in water ________. A)the Cl^- ions are attracted to dissolved K⁺ ions B)the Cl^- ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule C)the K⁺ ions are attracted to Cl^- ions on the KCl crystal D)the K⁺ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule E)the K⁺ ions are attracted to the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms of the water molecule

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When KCl dissolves in water, the positively charged K+ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule, while the negatively charged Cl- ions are attracted to the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms of the water molecule. Therefore, the K⁺ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule.
