Because HCl, HBr, and HI ionize completely when dissolved in water..

HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl-

HBr + H2O → H3O+ + Br-

HI + H2O → H3O+ + I-

(nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid are also strong acids)

..where as weak acids only ionize partially..

acetic acid as an example..

C2H3O2H + H2O H3O+ + C2H3O2-

What Is HBr a strong acid or a strong base?

It is a strong acid. Hint: if the formula begins with H it is usually an acid.


If HBr is a weak base?

HBr is not a weak base; it is a strong acid. In water, HBr completely dissociates into H+ and Br- ions, leading to a high concentration of H+ ions in solution. This strong acidity makes HBr a poor proton acceptor and hence not a base.


Is HBr am acid?

Yes, HBr is a strong acid. When it dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions (H+) which make it acidic.


Why is HBR fully dissociated?

because it is a strong acid


Which of the following Bronstead-Lowry acids does not behave as a strong acid when it is dissolved in water HBr Hcl HNO2 HClO4?

HNO2 does not behave as a strong acid when dissolved in water. It is a weak acid, whereas HBr, HCl, and HClO4 are strong acids.


Is HBr a strong or weak and an acid or base?

Hydrobromic acid has a pKa of −9, making it a stronger acid than hydrochloric acid, but not as strong as hydroiodic acid. Hydrobromic acid is one of the strongest mineral acids known.


If phenolphthalein is added to HBr?

If phenolphthalein is added to HBr (hydrobromic acid), which is a strong acid, the phenolphthalein indicator will remain colorless because it only changes color in the presence of a base. Since HBr is an acid, it will not cause the indicator to change color.


Is bromine a strong or a weak acid?

Bromine itself is not considered an acid. However, it can react with water to a small degree to form hydrobromic acid (HBr), a strong acid and hypobromous acid (HBrO) a weak acid. Br2 + H2O --> HBr + HBrO


Is HBrO a base or acid?

HBrO is a weak acid. In solution it partially deprotinates to form BrO- and H+


Is HBr and NaBr a buffer?

Well, honey, technically speaking, a buffer is a solution that can resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. So, if you mix hydrobromic acid (HBr) and sodium bromide (NaBr) together, you could potentially have a buffer solution if the concentrations are right. But hey, don't get too excited, it's not as simple as just throwing them together and calling it a day.


Which is the fourth strong acid?

Hydrochloric acid.HClO4 >> HI >> HBr >> HCl >> H2SO4


Is hno3 a monoprotic acid?

No, it is a diprotic acid, the first protolysis is strong, the second is (somewhat) weaker, however also this can be regarded as stong. (miscalculation << 0.3 pH unit)
