Question
which material is solid potassium chloride, kcl, likely to be soluble in? ch₃ch₂ch₃oh; ch₃ch₂ch₂ch₂ch₃; h₂o; c₃h₈
Brief Explanations
KCl is an ionic compound. The "like dissolves like" rule states ionic/polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Water (H₂O) is highly polar, while the other options (propanol has some polarity but less than water, pentane and propane are nonpolar) are not polar enough to dissolve ionic KCl effectively.
