KI is more soluble in water because I is bigger than Cl, meaning that the atomic radius is larger and therefore the bond is weaker. Solubility is higher with weaker bonds because they break easier.

Is KCl insoluble?

No. Potassium chloride (KCl) is soluble in water.


Using water how can i distinguish KCl from PbCl2?

KCl is soluble in water, so when added to water it will dissolve easily. PbCl2, on the other hand, is insoluble in water and will form a white precipitate. By observing whether the compound dissolves or forms a precipitate in water, you can distinguish between KCl and PbCl2.


Which salt is more soluble in water KCl or KBr?

The ionic bonding causes the solubility. As the electronegative difference becomes more, the ions are easily soluble. K has more electronegativity than Na. Hence KCl is more soluble than NaCl in water


What temperature would KCL solid be most soluble?

Short answer: You don't say what you are dissolving KCl (potassium chloride) in but we'll assume it is water. Salts like KCl dissolve in water better at higher temperatures. Boiling water (100C or 212 F) is the hottest you can get water without confining it and increasing the pressure. So 212F or 100C is the temperature that KCl is most soluble in water. Longer answer: As you add KCl to water the boiling point of the solution becomes lower. So the real maximum solubility temperature (assuming no pressurization) is less than 212 F (100 C). The easiest way to measure this would be to mix highly purified KCl with highly purified water and boil it to see what the boiling temperature is. You must add enough KCl so that even at boiling temperature you still have some solids left that way you will have a saturated solution which will have as much KCl dissolved as the water can hold.


Can KCl and CCl4 form a solution?

No, KCl (potassium chloride) and CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) cannot form a solution because they have very different chemical properties. KCl is an ionic compound that dissociates into potassium and chloride ions in water, while CCl4 is a nonpolar covalent compound that is not soluble in water.

Do KCl and C6H6 dissolve in each other?

No, KCl (potassium chloride) and C6H6 (benzene) would not readily dissolve in each other because they are not soluble in each other due to differences in their polarities. KCl is an ionic compound that is soluble in water, while benzene is a nonpolar solvent that is not miscible with water or ionic compounds like KCl.
