Hydrobromic acid
Chat with our AI personalities
The name for the ionic compound HBr is hydrogen bromide.
An aqueous solution of HBr is acidic. HBr is a strong acid that dissociates completely in water to form H+ and Br- ions, increasing the concentration of H+ ions in the solution and lowering the pH.
A student could use the 0.10 M NaOH solution in a titration experiment to determine the concentration of an aqueous solution of HBr by slowly adding the NaOH to the HBr solution until the equivalence point is reached. By monitoring the volume of NaOH required to neutralize the HBr solution, the student can calculate the concentration of the HBr solution using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of NaOH and C2 and V2 are the concentration and volume of the HBr solution.
HBr is hydrogen bromide (or hydrobromic acid).
HBr and HNO3 are both acids. HBr is hydrobromic acid, while HNO3 is nitric acid. They both release hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution, making them acidic.
