NaBr(s) → Na+(aq) + Br-(aq)
Here's what the symbols mean:
* NaBr(s): Solid sodium bromide
* Na+(aq): Sodium ions in aqueous solution (dissolved in water)
* Br-(aq): Bromide ions in aqueous solution (dissolved in water)
Explanation:
When sodium bromide is added to water, the ionic compound dissociates into its constituent ions. The water molecules surround the ions, pulling them apart and keeping them dissolved. This process is called dissolution.
