  2. Bromine water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_water

    Bromine water, Br 2. Bromine water is an oxidizing, intense brown mixture containing diatomic bromine (Br 2) dissolved in water (H 2 O). [1] It is often used as a reactive in chemical assays of recognition for substances which react with bromine in an aqueous environment with the halogenation mechanism, mainly unsaturated carbon compounds (carbon compounds with 1 or more double or triple bond(s)).

  3. 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

  4. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    Bromine was discovered independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig [13] and Antoine Balard, [14] [15] in 1825 and 1826, respectively. [16] Löwig isolated bromine from a mineral water spring from his hometown Bad Kreuznach in 1825. Löwig used a solution of the mineral salt saturated with chlorine and extracted the bromine with diethyl ...

  5. Hypobromite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypobromite

    The hypobromite ion, also called alkaline bromine water, is BrO −. Bromine is in the +1 oxidation state. The Br–O bond length is 1.82 Å. [1] Hypobromite is the bromine compound analogous to hypochlorites found in common bleaches, and in immune cells. In many ways, hypobromite functions in the same manner as hypochlorite, and is also used ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_compounds

    It is produced on a large scale by direct reaction of bromine with excess fluorine at temperatures higher than 150 °C, and on a small scale by the fluorination of potassium bromide at 25 °C. It also reacts violently with water and is a very strong fluorinating agent, although chlorine trifluoride is still stronger. [7]

  7. Potassium bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bromide

    Potassium bromide is used as a veterinary drug, in antiepileptic medication for dogs. Under standard conditions, potassium bromide is a white crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in water; it is not soluble in acetonitrile. In a dilute aqueous solution, potassium bromide tastes sweet, at higher concentrations it tastes bitter, and tastes ...

  8. Bromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromate

    3, is a bromine-based oxoanion. A bromate is a chemical compound that contains this ion. Examples of bromates include sodium bromate (NaBrO 3) and potassium bromate (KBrO 3). Bromates are formed many different ways in municipal drinking water. The most common is the reaction of ozone and bromide: Br − + O 3 → BrO − 3

  9. Bromine oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_oxide

    Bromine dioxide (BrO 2) Bromine can form several different oxides: Dibromine monoxide (Br 2 O) Bromine dioxide (BrO 2) Dibromine trioxide (Br 2 O 3) Dibromine pentoxide (Br 2 O 5) Tribromine octoxide (Br 3 O 8) Also, a number of ions are bromine oxides: Hypobromite (BrO −) Bromite (BrO 2 −) Bromate (BrO 3 −) Perbromate (BrO 4 −) And the ...
