When the ionic compound lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolves in the polar solvent acetone (CH3COCH3), the polar solvent molecules surround the Li+ and Cl- ions, stabilizing them through dipole-ion interactions. The strong interactions between the polar acetone molecules and the ions help to overcome the ionic bond in LiCl, allowing the compound to dissociate and disperse in the solution.
In or two sentences, describe the process by which the ionic compound, LiCI, would dissolve in the polar solvent, CH3COCH3
