$C u B r_{2} (s) \to C u^{2 +} (a q) + 2 B r^{-} (a q)$ $CuBr_2(s) rarr Cu^(2+)(aq) + 2Br^(-)(aq)$

Explanation:

Upon dissolution of anhydrous cupric bromide, the beautiful blue colour of $C u^{2 +} (a q)$ $Cu^(2+)(aq)$ , i.e. ${[C u {(O H_{2})}_{6}]}_{6}^{2 +}$ $[Cu(OH_2)_6]^(2+)$ , would develop.
