Expert Solution
Step 1

KCl is an ionic compound and when dissolved in water it will dissociate into its constituent ions.  

so what happens is when ionic compounds are dissolved in water their constituent ions get separated and distributed in the whole solution. These ions then solvated by water molecules and interact with them.
