Which statement best describes the ion-dipole interaction occurring when KI is dissolved in water? The K+ ions are surrounded by H2O, with oxygen in close proximity, while the I- ions are surrounded by H2O with the H atoms in close proximity. K+ and I- ions are hydrogen bonded to surrounding H2O molecules. The K+ ions are surrounded by H2O, with H atoms in close proximity, while the I- ions are surrounded by H2O with the O atom in close proximity.

Step 1
When KI is dissolved in water, these ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive end (the hydrogen atoms) and a negative end (the oxygen atom). In the case of the K+ ions, they will be surrounded Show more…

$\mathrm{KF}$ combines with HF to form $\mathrm{KHF}_{2^{\circ}}$. The comoound cortains the species (a) $\mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{F}^{-}$ and $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ (b) $\mathrm{K}^{-}, \mathrm{F}^{-}$ and $\mathrm{HI}$ (c) $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{HI}_{2}\right]^{-}$ (d) $[\mathrm{KHF}]^{+}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{2}$
(Before solving the following problems, you may find it useful to review Section 4.1 on the strengths of ionic bonds.) In an aqueous solution containing chloride, bromide, and iodide salts, which anion would you expect to experience the strongest ion-dipole interactions with surrounding water molecules?
When the ATP is hydrolyzed, it transfers phosphate onto the protein. The protein changes its conformation and ion affinity. What ion does it now have a lower affinity for? a.) Na+ b.) K+ c) Ca2+ d.) Li+ 2. After the phosphate is removed, the protein changes conformation again. This releases the K+ ions and then the protein has a higher affinity for? a.) Na+ b.) K+ c) Ca2+ 3. The amino acid residues N203 and N68 occur at the narrowest point in the aquaporin channel. The positive dipole on these residues interrupts the intra-water H-bonds and flips the water around. What does this flipping of the water molecule do? a.) It prevents H+ ions from passing through the pore b.) It makes the water flow go faster c.) It allows H+ ions to pass through the pore
