Hydrogen bromide (HBr) is a colorless gas at room temperature, characterized by its pungent odor and corrosive nature. It is a diatomic molecule consisting of hydrogen and bromine, and it readily dissolves in water to form hydrobromic acid, a strong acid that dissociates completely in aqueous solution. HBr is highly soluble in polar solvents and can react vigorously with bases and oxidizing agents. Its physical properties include a boiling point that allows it to exist as a gas under standard conditions, while its molecular weight contributes to its density being greater than that of air. In terms of safety, hydrogen bromide is classified as a hazardous substance; it can cause severe respiratory irritation and damage to mucous membranes upon exposure. Additionally, it is used in various industrial applications, including the synthesis of bromine compounds, pharmaceuticals, and as a catalyst in organic reactions. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its corrosive and toxic nature.

Applications Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that is used in conjunction with Phenol (P318005) to carry out rapid cleavage of sulfonamides. Hydrobromic acid is primarily used in chemistry to produce inorganic bromides, and is also used in isomerization reactions.
