When LiCl dissolves in the polar solvent CH₃COCH₃ (acetone), the polar molecules of acetone surround the Li⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, weakening the ionic bonds in LiCl through solvation. This process allows the ions to separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solvent.
In one to two sentences, describe the process by which the ionic compound, LiCl, would dissolve in the polar solvent, CH COCH . 3 3
