Answer: dissociates in water, is an electrolyte, is a salt.
Explanation: KCl is an ionic compound formed by the combination of a metal ( [tex]K^+[/tex] )and a non metal ([tex]Cl^-[/tex]).
Being a polar compound, it dissolves in water and dissociates into [tex]K^+[/tex] cations and [tex]Cl^-[/tex] 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.
[tex]KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O[/tex]
