hypobromous acid - Introduction
hypobromous acid (hypobromous acid) is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula HOBr. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of hypobromous acid:
Nature:
1. Hypobromic acid has a pungent odor.
2. It is a weak acid with moderate oxidation.
3. Hypobromic acid is unstable in solution and is easily decomposed during storage and operation, and is converted into hypobromite ion (hypobromite ion) and bromide ion (bromide ion).
Use:
1. Hypobromous acid can be used to prepare other compounds, such as bromoalcohols and bromoalkyls.
2. It can also be used as a disinfectant, oxidant and reagent in organic synthesis.
3. Hypobromous acid can be used to treat water treatment process, remove organic matter and microorganisms.
Method:
Hypobromous acid can be prepared by the reaction of Sodium manganate hypohydrate with sodium bromide. The reaction equation is as follows:
2NaBr NaOCl 2H2O -> 2HOBr 2NaOH
Safety Information:
1. Hypobromic acid is a corrosive substance, contact with the skin and eyes to avoid.
2. Be careful when handling and storing hypobromous acid to prevent accidents caused by its decomposition and instability.
3. When using hypobromous acid, pay attention to protective equipment, such as wearing protective gloves, goggles and protective clothing.
4. In the use of hypobromous acid to follow the correct operating procedures and working conditions, pay attention to prevent the reaction with other chemical substances, especially flammable substances and ammonia compounds.
