Neutral
KBr is not a base, but a salt formed by the combination of the strong base KOH and the strong acid HBr. It is considered a neutral salt since it does not significantly contribute to the pH of a solution.
KBr is a byproduct of the neutralization of an acid and a base. So in simple terms it's neither; it's a neutral salt.
Its neither, it's a salt!
KBr (potassium bromide) is a neutral compound, so it does not have a charge. The potassium ion (K+) has a charge of +1, while the bromide ion (Br-) has a charge of -1. When combined in a 1:1 ratio to form KBr, the charges balance out to give an overall neutral compound.
The charge of KBr is 0, since it is a neutral compound made of potassium (K) with a +1 charge and bromine (Br) with a -1 charge.
KBrO3 is potassium bromate which is made from KOH (potassium hydroxide) and bromic acid (HBrO3). The salt will have an alkaline (basic) pH >7 when dissolved in water.
KBr is not an acid at all. It is a neutral salt.
KBr is a byproduct of the neutralization of an acid and a base. So in simple terms it's neither; it's a neutral salt.
It is neutral. Molecules containing elements on opposite sides of the periodic table (basic elements and acidic elements) are neutral. Unless it's H because H is acidic by definition. So HCl would be a strong acid while NaCl or KCL would be neutral.
No, NaBr (sodium bromide) and KBr (potassium bromide) are not buffers. They are both salts that dissociate into their respective ions in solution, but they do not contain a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which are required components for a buffer system. Buffers work to resist changes in pH upon the addition of acids or bases, which NaBr and KBr cannot do.
The reaction is:HBr + KOH = KBr + H2O
Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid or a base.
