Barium bromide is a chemical compound with the formula BaBr2. It is produced by reacting barium hydroxide with hydrobromic acid. The reaction proceeds according to the following equation: Ba(OH)2 + 2 HBr → BaBr2 + 2 H2O. This reaction releases hydrogen gas, which is vented to prevent an explosion. Barium bromide is a white crystalline solid that has a low solubility in water and reacts with most organic compounds. It is often used as an additive to produce red light in fireworks and flares.
