In one to two sentences, describe the process by which the ionic compound, LiCl, would dissolve in the polar solvent, CH3COCH3.
1 answer
In the process of dissolving, the polar solvent CH3COCH3 surrounds individual ions of LiCl, pulling them apart and forming equidistant solvation shells, resulting in a solution where the Li+ cations and Cl- anions are uniformly dispersed throughout the solvent.
