Potassium bromide (KBr) is water soluble, when met with water it will dissolve. The dissolution of KBr in water is an endothermic reaction, the enthalpy change is about +19.8 Kj/mol.

Does anyone know why the solution process occurs even though the enthalpy is a relatively high positive number which should mean weaker bonds?

because it is an ionic bonds, and potassium is a metal that holds its electrons loosely, the potassium atom will give electrons over to the bromine.
