What are the major solute-solvent interactions created when KBr dissolves in water?
A)dipole-dipole
B)dispersion
C)hydrogen bonding
D)ion-dipole

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

KBr dissociates into K+ and Br- ions in water, and water molecules have a partially negative end and a partially positive end. The positive end of water molecules interacts with the negatively charged Br- ion, while the negative end of water molecules interacts with the positively charged K+ ion. This results in the formation of ion-dipole interactions between KBr and water.
