Uses
Primary
- Key chemical intermediate for bromine chemistry.
Natural occurrence
- does not occur naturally.
Hazards
- HBr is highly corrosive and irritating to inhalation.
Production
Extraction
Synthesis
- Combine sodium bromide and sulfuric acid:
- NaBr + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HBr
- React bromine with water and sulfur:
- 2 Br2 + S + 2 H2O → 4 HBr + SO2
- React bromine with water and sodium metabisulfate giving hydrobromic acid and sodium bisulfate
Testing
Purification
Bromine contamination can be removed by passing the gas through a solution of phenol dissolved in carbon tetrachloride at room temperature
- HBr(v) + Br2(v) + CCl4(l) + C6H5OH(diss) → 2 HBr(v) + CCl4(l) + C6H4OHBr(diss)
