Potassium bromide CAS 7758-02-3

Potassium bromide (KBr) is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula KBr. It is white crystal or powder. It is easily soluble in water (the solubility is 102g/100ml at 100℃), slightly soluble in ethanol and ether. Its aqueous solution is neutral, with a density of 2.75g/cm³ (25℃), a melting point of 734℃, and a boiling point of 1435℃. ‌

Physical properties
Potassium bromide is a colorless cubic crystal, slightly hygroscopic, and easily turns yellow when exposed to light. It is soluble in water and glycerol, reacts with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen bromide, and reacts with silver nitrate to produce silver bromide precipitate. ‌

Chemical properties
As a typical ionic compound, its aqueous solution is completely ionized, and the bromide ion can be replaced by fluorine and chlorine. It needs to be operated with caution when reacting with strong acids, strong oxidants, etc. ‌

Main uses
Analytical reagent: used for spot analysis to determine copper and silver, and polarographic analysis to detect indium, cadmium, arsenic and other elements. ‌

‌Photographic materials‌: manufacturing silver bromide dry plates (the core component of photographic film). ‌

‌Industrial applications‌: developer, removal of peripheral membrane proteins in molecular biology, etc.
