Write the formula for each of the following compounds: g. hydrobromic acid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula for Hydrobromic Acid:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The chemical formula for hydrobromic acid<\/strong> is HBr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid<\/strong> formed when hydrogen bromide (HBr)<\/strong> gas is dissolved in water. In its aqueous form, it dissociates completely into hydrogen ions (H\u207a)<\/strong> and bromide ions (Br\u207b)<\/strong>, making it a highly effective proton donor. Its complete dissociation in water is why it’s classified as a strong acid<\/strong>, similar to hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulfuric acid (H\u2082SO\u2084).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composition and Bonding:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hydrobromic acid consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • One hydrogen atom (H)<\/strong>: This is the acidic proton in the compound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • One bromine atom (Br)<\/strong>: A halogen, bromine is in group 17 of the periodic table and tends to gain one electron, forming the Br\u207b<\/strong> ion. The bond between hydrogen and bromine in HBr is a polar covalent bond<\/strong>, meaning the bromine atom pulls the shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen, making the bond polar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Properties:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • pH<\/strong>: Since hydrobromic acid is a strong acid, solutions of HBr in water have a low pH, typically below 1 for concentrated solutions. The pH is an indication of the high concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Reactivity<\/strong>: HBr readily reacts with metals and metal oxides, producing bromide salts<\/strong> and liberating hydrogen gas in some reactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Industrial Uses<\/strong>: Hydrobromic acid is used in organic and inorganic chemical synthesis. For example, it is utilized in the production of bromides<\/strong>, as well as in the pharmaceutical<\/strong> and dye industries<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Comparison with Other Acids:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Hydrobromic acid is comparable in strength to hydrochloric acid (HCl), but it is stronger than hydrofluoric acid (HF)<\/strong>, another halogen-based acid. This is due to bromine’s larger atomic size, which weakens the bond between H and Br, making it easier for HBr to release H\u207a ions into the solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
