Hydrobromic Acid 33% in Acetic Acid
Hydrobromic Acid 33% in Acetic Acid
Symbol – HBr
Molecular Weight – 80.91
CAS No – 10035-10-6
Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid formed by dissolving the diatomic molecule hydrogen bromide (HBr) in water. “Constant boiling” hydrobromic acid is an aqueous solution that distills at 124.3 °C and contains 47.6% HBr by mass, which is 8.77 mol/L. Hydrobromic acid has a pKa of −9, making it a stronger acid than hydrochloric acid, but not as strong as hydroiodic acid. Hydrobromic acid is one of the strongest mineral acids known.
