Physical properties
Soluble in water, ether, ethanol, soluble in methanol, acetone, ethylene glycol and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in pyridine. A hot solution of lithium bromide dissolves the fibre. Its aqueous solution has strong hygroscopicity, and the concentration of saturated lithium bromide aqueous solution is up to 60% at room temperature. The greater the concentration, the lower the temperature, the stronger the hygroscopicity.
Chemical properties
Stable in nature, not easy to degrade in the atmosphere. Can form a series of addition compounds with ammonia or amine, such as lithium ammonium bromide, lithium diamine bromide, lithium triamine bromide, lithium tetramide bromide. With copper bromide, high mercury bromide, high mercury iodide, high mercury cyanide, strontium bromide can form soluble salt. Lithium bromide has a strong corrosive effect on steel in air, but it does not corrode metal in vacuum when corrosion inhibitor is added.
