If you put KOH into a beaker of water, what would it look like at the molecular level?
O All KOH at the bottom as solid, it is not soluble.
O Some K and OH ions, but also lots of KOH solid at the bottom.
O Lots of K and OH ions floating around.
OA few K and OH ions, but mostly KOH bonded together floating.

Final answer:

When KOH is added to water, it dissociates into ions due to ion-dipole forces, forming K and OH¯ ions surrounded by water molecules.


Explanation:

When KOH is added to water, the solid dissociates into ions due to the ion-dipole forces. The positive end of water molecules is attracted to the negative OH¯ ion, and the negative end is attracted to the K ion. This leads to the formation of K* and OH¯ ions surrounded by water molecules, transitioning from a solid state to solvated ions in solution.
