CAS 14380-62-2
:Hypobromite
Description:
Hypobromite refers to a chemical species containing the hypobromite ion (BrO⁻). It is typically encountered in the form of hypobromite salts, such as sodium hypobromite (NaBrO), which is a pale yellow or colorless solution. Hypobromite is known for its strong oxidizing properties, making it useful in various applications, including disinfection and water treatment. It can react with organic compounds, leading to the oxidation of those substances. Hypobromite is relatively unstable and can decompose, especially in the presence of light or heat, releasing bromine and other byproducts. The compound is also sensitive to pH changes, with its stability and reactivity being influenced by the acidity or basicity of the solution. In terms of safety, hypobromite can be corrosive and should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Overall, hypobromite plays a role in both industrial and laboratory settings due to its chemical reactivity and disinfectant properties.
