Question

Name the particle present in aqueous solution of Potassium chloride.

Answer 1

Potassium Chloride $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{KCl}\mathbf{\right)}$:

1. $\mathrm{KCl}$ being an electrovalent compound will completely ionize in the aqueous solution.
2. Ionization of the compounds will be as: $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{KCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\rightleftharpoons {\mathrm{K}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right) \\ {\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\rightleftharpoons {\mathrm{H}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{OH}}^{-}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right) \end{gathered}$$
3. The Particle present in solution will be: ${\mathrm{K}}^{+},{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-},{\mathrm{H}}^{+},{\mathrm{OH}}^{-}$
