  2. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    View of salt evaporation pans on the Dead Sea, where Jordan (right) and Israel (left) produce salt and bromine. Bromine is significantly less abundant in the crust than fluorine or chlorine, comprising only 2.5 parts per million of the Earth's crustal rocks, and then only as bromide salts. It is the 46th most abundant element in Earth's crust.

  3. Bromous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromous_acid

    From numbers of equivalent portions of acid bromine formed from the previous reaction, the ratio between oxygen and bromine was calculated, with the exact value of O:Br (0.149975:0.3745), suggesting the acid compound contains two oxygen atom to one bromine atom. Thus, the chemical structure of the acid compound was deducted as HBrO 2. [2]

  4. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    At 25 °C (77 °F), solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Solutions with a pH of 7 at 25 °C are neutral (i.e. have the same concentration of H + ions as OH − ions, i.e. the same as pure water). The neutral value of the pH depends on the temperature and is lower than 7 if the temperature ...

  5. Bromine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_compounds

    Silver bromide (AgBr). Nearly all elements in the periodic table form binary bromides. The exceptions are decidedly in the minority and stem in each case from one of three causes: extreme inertness and reluctance to participate in chemical reactions (the noble gases, with the exception of xenon in the very unstable XeBr 2; extreme nuclear instability hampering chemical investigation before ...

  6. Bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromide

    Bromine readily reacts with water, i.e. it undergoes hydrolysis: Br 2 + H 2 O → HOBr + HBr. This forms hypobromous acid (HOBr), and hydrobromic acid (HBr in water). The solution is called "bromine water". The hydrolysis of bromine is more favorable in the presence of base, for example sodium hydroxide: Br 2 + NaOH → NaOBr + NaBr

  7. Ammonium bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_bromide

    Ammonium bromide is a weak acid with a pK a of approximately 9 in water. It is an acid salt because the ammonium ion hydrolyzes slightly in water. Ammonium bromide is a strong electrolyte when put in water: NH 4 Br(s) → NH + 4 (aq) + Br − (aq) Ammonium bromide decomposes to ammonia and hydrogen bromide when heated at elevated temperatures ...

  8. Acidity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidity_function

    In this case H 0 and H − are equivalent to pH values determined by the buffer equation or Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. However, an H 0 value of −21 (a 25% solution of SbF 5 in HSO 3 F) [5] does not imply a hydrogen ion concentration of 10 21 mol/dm 3: such a "solution" would have a density more than a hundred times greater than a neutron ...

  9. Hypobromous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypobromous_acid

    Hypobromous acid has a pK a of 8.65 and is therefore only partially dissociated in water at pH 7. Like the acid, hypobromite salts are unstable and undergo a slow disproportionation reaction to yield the respective bromate and bromide salts. 3 BrO − (aq) → 2 Br − (aq) + BrO − 3 (aq)
