In one to two sentences, describe the process by which the ionic compound, LiCl, would dissolve in the polar solvent, CH3COCH3
1 answer
The polar solvent, CH3COCH3, pulls apart the LiCl crystal lattice by attracting and surround the Li+ ions with its partial negative charges, while the Cl- ions are surrounded with the partial positive charges, causing the compound to dissolve.
