Copper I Bromide, with a molecular weight of 143.45 grams, appears as a white powder or crystal that turns blue or dark blue after exposure to sunlight. This powder is slightly soluble in cold water but decomposes in hot water. It is mainly used in color photography, as a chemical reagent, catalyst in organic synthesis, reducing agent in pigment and dyestuff, electric cell, electroplating, and pharmaceuticals. It is stored in containers tightly closed, in a dark, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse, at room temperature (below 35C). It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and alkali metals.
