Perbromic acid, HBrO4, is an oxoacid of bromine. It is a strong acid that is not known as a molecular species.[2][3][4]
Contents
Preparation
Perbromic acid is prepared by ion exchange of a solution of sodium perbromate.[4][5][6] The acid can be concentrated up to 6 M (55%) by evaporation of water under reduced pressure: more concentrated solutions can be prepared, but are unstable.[2][3]
Properties
The properties of perbromic acid are very similar to those of perchloric acid.[2][4] It is a strong acid, completely dissociated in aqueous solution.[4] A solid hydrate, believed to be HBrO4·2H2O, has been prepared:[2][3] by comparison with the perchloric acid azeotrope,[7] also of composition HClO4·2H2O (71.6% HClO4), this should almost certainly be formulated as [(H2O)2H]+[BrO4]−.
Dilue solutions of perbromic acid are kinetically quite inert in oxidation reactions.[2][3] Hence, unreacted bromate can be removed from perbromate preparations by reaction with 1.5 M hydrobromic acid.[8] At concentrations of 3 M, the acid will attack stainless steel; at 6 M, it will oxidize chloride to chlorine and Mn2+ to permanganate, while the 12 M solution reacts explosively with cellulose.[2][3][4]
