Which means that DPSG sodas often appear in Coke or Pepsi vending machines, sometimes even in place of Coke or Pepsi's equivalent brand. For example, Coke's Pibb, their version of Dr Pepper, is harder to find in the New York City area because the local Coke bottler has long held the area rights to Dr Pepper.
Potassium chloride, KCl, is an electrolyte, because in water it dissociates into solvated potassium and chloride ions.
For KCl the lattice energy is 715 kJ mol -1. This is a lot of energy. As a result chemists will often say that ionic bonds are very strong. This is because they are referring to this particular situation of taking the solid and turning it into gas phase ions.
