In this particular article we will learn about hydrobromic acid and the process of preparation of hydrobromic acid. First a brief introduction to hydrobromic acid. Hydrobromic acid is an inorganic acid also known as a mineral acid. It's composed of hydrogen and bromine and is the bromine analogue of the more famous hydrochloric acid. Now hydrogen bromide is actually a gas but when it’s dissolved in water we call it hydrobromic acid. Azeotropic hydrobromic acid has a boiling point of about 124.3 Celsius at atmospheric pressure and corresponds to a concentration of 47.6%, although variations of a couple of percent aren't uncommon. It can be used for many of the same purposes as hydrochloric acid but because it is generally more expensive it is more often used when bromine or bromide itself is specifically needed. It's mostly used to make organobromine compounds and we ourselves used it this way sometime ago to make bromoalkanes for making grignard reagents....
