Answer and Explanation:

The chemical formula for cobalt(II) bromide is CoBr₂. As it is a strong electrolyte, it dissociates into ions when dissolved in water, according to the following chemical equation:

CoBr₂(s) → Co²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)

Thus, the compound CoBr₂ dissociates in water producing 1 mole of cobalt(II) ions (Co²⁺) and 2 moles of bromide ions (Br⁻) per mole of CoBr₂. The ions are dissolved in water, so they are in the aqueous state (aq).
