Question

When the ionic compound ki is dissolved in water what attraction pulls i– ions into solution?

Answer 1

the attraction to the positive end of a water molecule.hope this helps you

Answer 2

Ion-dipole attraction force pulls
`I^(-)` into solution

Step-by-step explanation:

`I^(-)` is an anion and water molecule is dipolar due to polarization of bonded electron towards more electronegative oxygen atom.

Hence, when KI is added in water, water molecule attracts
`K^(+)` ions through its negatively charged polarized end and
`I^(-)` through its positively charged polarized end.

At equilibrium, this ion-dipole attraction force overcome the ionic interaction present between
`K^(+)` and
`I^(-)`.

Hence KI become soluble into water.
