Hydrobromic acid 48% Extra pure

What is Hydrogen Bromide?

Hydrobromic acid refers to the solutions of gaseous hydrogen bromide (HBr) in water. Like the other hydrogen halides, the solutions are strongly acidic.

In chemical symbolism, HBr means both the gas and the aqueous solution. Where a distinction or more precise characterization of the aqueous solution is required, the abbreviation (aq) is used for designations such as e.g. B. HBr(aq), HBr aq, HBr aq or HBraq.

Hydrobromic acid behaves similarly to the chemically related hydrochloric acid. Like the gaseous hydrogen chloride HCl, the colorless gas HBr readily dissolves in water, whose solubility at standard pressure for HBr decreases with increasing water temperature.

At room temperature this gives an aqueous solution with a maximum of 65 percent HBr (mass fraction) and a density of 1.7675 g/cm3. Commercial solutions are 40-65%. HBr and water (such as HCl) form a positive azeotrope at 47.63% HBr and 52.37% H2O boiling at 126°C; the density of this solution is 1.482 g/cm3. This ratio can no longer be changed at the azeotropic point by simple distillation, since the liquid and gas phases have the same composition. The 48% constant boiling acid is 8.89 molar.

What is hydrogen bromide used for?

Hydrobromic acid is used to make chemical and pharmaceutical products, mainly for the production of inorganic bromides, especially zinc, calcium and sodium bromide. It is also used as a solvent and in veterinary medicines. It is a useful reagent for the regeneration of organobromine compounds. Certain ethers are cleaved with hydrobromic acid. It also acts as a catalyst for alkylation reactions and for the extraction of certain minerals. Hydrobromic acid produces important organic compounds useful for industry, such as: allyl bromide, phenol and bromoacetic acid.
