COMEDK · Chemistry · 9. Redox Reactions
When \(\mathrm{KBr}\) is dissolved in water, \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)ions are
- A oxidised
- B reduced
- C hydrolysed
- D hydrated
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) hydrated
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When \(\mathrm{KBr}\) is dissolved in water, \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)ions are hydrated due to ionic nature. \(\mathrm{KBr}\) is soluble in wuter due to hydration of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)ion \(\mathrm{by} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) molecule.
