is a salt

Answer 1

KCl
1)dissociates in water,
2)is an electrolyte,
4)is a salt.

Answer 2

Answer: dissociates in water, is an electrolyte, is a salt.

Explanation: KCl is an ionic compound formed by the combination of a metal (
`K^+` )and a non metal (
`Cl^-`).

Being a polar compound, it dissolves in water and dissociates into
`K^+` cations and
`Cl^-` anions. The generation of ions help in the conduction of electricity and thus act as a electrolyte.

It is a salt formed by the neutralization of acid with a base.

`KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O`
