Answer
Dissociation of $LiBr$ in water:
$LiBr(s) -^{H_2O}- \gt Li^{+}(aq) + Br^{-}(aq)$
Work Step by Step
- When strong electrolytes are added to water they dissociate, which means that they will divide, producing their ions.
1. Identify the cation and the anion in $LiBr$
- Cation : 1 $Li^{+}$
- Anion: 1 $Br^{-}$
2. Write the equation for the dissociation:
$LiBr(s) -^{H_2O}- \gt Li^{+}(aq) + Br^{-}(aq)$
** Remember: the ions are dissociated in an aqueous solution, so, their state symbol is "(aq)".
