Question #9ba12

Answer 1

In aqueous solution, cupric bromide tends to form cupric ions......

Explanation:

`CuBr_2(s) + "excess "H_2O(l)rarrCu^(2+)(aq) + 2Br^(-)(aq)`

`Cu^(2+)(aq)` is a coordination complex, which we could reasonably represent at `[Cu(OH_2)_6]^(2+)`; its salts have a quite beautiful blue colour.
