    KCl is an ionized salt which readily dissolved in water and generate potassium and chloride ions. In which potassium posses one unit positive charge and chloride posses one unit negative charge. As water is a polar solvent there are partial positive and negative charge on the hydrogen and hydroxide ion respectively. The high solubility of the potassium chloride (KCl) in water is due to the stabilization of the ions in the polar solvent. The solvation of the ions can be shown as-
