How come some salts dissolve when coming into contact with water?
Is there an actual reaction/exchange between the salt and water molecules?

>> No.8586549

The ions from the salt are attracted to the water molecule because of its polarity... I think. Has been a while since I've done chemistry.

this is literally basic polar solvent/ionic salt stuff

I hope you're trolling brainlet

Keep believing in your "there are no stupid questions" feelgood propaganda.

The only reason you would consider it stupid is because you can't actually answer it.

Because of hydrogen bonding. You want more hydrogen bonds and this requires that you break ionic bonds into constituent parts.
