Complete the equation for the dissociation of cdcl2 (aq). omit water from the equation because it is understood to be present.

Cadmium chloride is a highly soluble compound. The equation for its dissolution is:

CdCl₂ (s) → Cd⁺² (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

This dissociation in water allows for the cadmium and chlorine ions to take part in reactions. This is the reason that solutions of chemicals are prepared when a reaction needs to take place.
