Potassium chloride (KCl) will dissolve easily in water (H2O). This is because water is very polar, due to a difference in charge across the length of the water molecule. The oxygen end of a water molecule contains unshared electrons, and thus a partial negative charge. The hydrogen end of a water molecule contains 2 hydrogen nuclei (protons) and no electrons, and thus a partial positive charge. Potassium chloride is a strongly ionic compound, and therefore polar as well, because it consists of 2 ions. Since they're both polar, the KCl quickly dissociates in water. Remember: "like dissolves like."
