Which actions are part of the dissolution process of an iconic solute in water?

Answer is: The ions in the solute separate from each other.

For example, dissociation of potassium iodide in water:  

KI(aq) → K⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq).

Solvation is the interaction of solvent (water) with molecules or ions (in this example K⁺ and I⁻) in a solute.  

Anion I⁻ has negative charge, so positive end (hydrogen atoms) of a water molecul attracts them.

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
