SKU : A-2034.0500

CAS : 10035-10-6

Formula : HBr

Grade : AR

Primary Applications :

Organobromine Synthesis: Serves as a primary reagent for generating alkyl bromides from alcohols, or for executing the oxidative bromination of alkenes, alkynes, and ketones.
Ether Cleavage: Extensively used in organic chemistry to cleave stubborn alkoxy bonds in cyclic and acyclic ethers.
Inorganic Bromide Production: Employed to synthesize high-purity laboratory salts, including zinc, calcium, sodium, and potassium bromides.
Catalytic Agent: Acts as an essential acidic catalyst in polymerization, isomerization, esterification, and hydration reactions.

Hydrobromic acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen bromide. It 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 (255.7 °F) and contains 47.6% HBr by mass, which is 8.77 mol/L. Hydrobromic acid is one of the strongest mineral acids known.Hydrobromic Acid 48% AR is a high-purity, Analytical Reagent (AR) grade concentrated solution of hydrogen bromide gas (

HBr

) dissolved in water. It is one of the strongest known mineral acids—significantly stronger than hydrochloric acid (

HCl

)—and is widely used in organic synthesis, chemical analysis, and industrial manufacturing. The (48%) concentration represents a stable, constant-boiling azeotropic mixture with water.
