Is HBr soluble in water?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the solubility of hydrogen bromide (HBr) in water. It seeks to understand whether HBr can dissolve in water and to what extent.
Answer
Yes, HBr is soluble in water.
Yes, HBr is soluble in water.
Answer for screen readers
Yes, HBr is soluble in water.
More Information
When HBr dissolves in water, it forms hydrobromic acid (HBr(aq)). This dissolution is highly exothermic and releases heat.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse solubility with reactivity. HBr not only dissolves but also dissociates in water.
