Bromous acid, HBrO2, is an oxoacid of bromine. Its existence as a molecular species has been considered doubtful[4][5] but, although it is unstable with respect to disproportionation, its lifetime in aqueous solution is sufficient for spectroscopic study.[3][6] It is an intermediate in the Belousov–Zhabotinskii reaction.[6][7][8][9][10] Some salts (bromites) are known.[4]

Disproportionation
Bromous acid is unstable with respect to disproportionation: at acid pH, the thermodynamic products are bromine and bromate.
- 5 HBrO2 → Br2 + 3 BrO−3 + 3 H+ + H2O
The initial mechanism is simpler than that for chlorous acid, as the production of bromine dioxide and the oxidation of water to oxygen are negligible. Hence, there are just two significant initial steps:[3]
HBrO2 + HBrO2 → HBrO + BrO−3 + H+ k = 800(100) dm3 mol−1 s−1 HBrO2 + BrO−2 → HBrO + BrO−3 k = 39.1(26) dm3 mol−1 s−1
The hypobromous acid then disproportionates further to give the final products. There is no evidence of any catalysis of the disporportionation of HBrO2 by bromide ions (unlike the case of chlorous acid and chloride ions).[3][11]

The acid dissociation constant of bromous acid can be calculated from the observed kinetics of its disproportionation:[3] Ka = 3.7(9) × 10−4 (pKa = 3.43). This is consistent with that which would be expected from periodic trends.
