When $\mathrm{KBr}$ is dissolved in water, $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ions are

  • A
    oxidised
  • B
    reduced
  • C
    hydrolysed
  • Correct answer
    D
    hydrated

Solution

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.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
