Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

as potassium chloride(KCI) dissolves in water, the potassium and chloride ions are formed and hydrated. Ion-dipole forces attract the positive(Hydrogen) end of the polar water molecules to the negative chloride ions at the surface of the solid, and they attract the negative(oxygen) ends to the positive potassium ions
