Question

What is an example of dissociation?

1) table salt dissolving in water
2) table sugar dissolving in water
3) vegetable oil dissolving in water
4) hydrogen chloride dissolving in water

Answer 1

1) Table salt dissolving in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociation can be accepted as a subsection of dissolving. Since table salt is a compound that can be broken into two or more compounds, I would say this is the correct answer. Especially since salt is ionic and ionic compounds dissociate into ions when they dissolve, unlike the other options given.
