Sodium bromide is an inorganic compound with the formula Na Br. It is a high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride . It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications.
Added sodium acetate acts as an acid scavenger for the hydrogen bromide that is formed. [2] The elemental bromine can also be prepared in situ by oxidizing sodium bromide in an aqueous caffeine solution with hydrogen peroxide. Yields of 85% have been reported. [3]
The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.
This page provides supplementary chemical data on caffeine. Caffeine ... Melting point: 227 to 228 °C (441 to 442 °F; 500 to 501 K) (anhydrous)
Bromide salts are used in hot tubs as mild germicidal agents to generate in situ hypobromite. The bromide ion is antiepileptic and as bromide salt, is used in veterinary medicine in the US. The kidneys excrete bromide ions. The half-life of bromide in the human body (12 days) is long compared with many pharmaceuticals, making dosing challenging ...
When it is converted to the covalent red phosphorus, the density goes to 2.2–2.4 g/cm 3 and melting point to 590 °C, and when white phosphorus is transformed into the (also covalent) black phosphorus, the density becomes 2.69–3.8 g/cm 3 and melting temperature ~200 °C. Both red and black phosphorus forms are significantly harder than ...
Pure anhydrous caffeine is a bitter-tasting, white, odorless powder with a melting point of 235–238 °C. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Caffeine is moderately soluble in water at room temperature (2 g/100 mL), but quickly soluble in boiling water (66 g/100 mL). [ 197 ]
Potassium bromide (K Br) is a salt, widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with over-the-counter use extending to 1975 in the US. Its action is due to the bromide ion (sodium bromide is equally effective). Potassium bromide is used as a veterinary drug, in antiepileptic medication for dogs.
