Hydrobromic acid or hydronium bromide is formed by adding hydrogen bromide to water. It is a strong mineral acid, due to the high electronegativity of bromine that, in its turn, causes the hydrogen-bromine bond to become ionized easily. The chemical formula of hydrobromic acid is HBr(aq), the molar mass – 80.91 g/mol. In laboratory, the […]
