When KCl dissolves in water ________. a. the K+ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule 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 positive charge on the hydrogen atoms of the water molecule e. the Cl- ions are attracted to dissolved K+ ions

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. the K+ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule.

Explanation:

The hydrogen atoms on water are partially positive and the oxygen on water is partially negative.

Since unlike charges attract, the oxygen of the water molecules are attracted to the K+ and the hydrogens are attracted to Cl-.  the water surrounds the k+ and cl- so that the unlike charges are allowed to be close together.

Answer:

a. the K+ ions are attracted to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule
