Question

In one to two sentences, describe how the ionic compound, licl would dissolve in the polar solvent, ch3coch3.

Answer 1

Lithium Chloride is a polar compound. Lithium gives off a +1 charge and chlorine gives off a -1 charge. The chlorine adopts lithium’s extra electron and they are both put to the 8 electron goal. Because they are polar, however, a polar solvent would pull them apart further. By isolating each element in + and - concentrations.
