NH4Br
NH4Br, ammonium bromide, is an inorganic salt consisting of ammonium cations NH4+ and bromide anions Br-. It forms white crystalline solids and is highly soluble in water, yielding colorless solutions.
It can be prepared by reacting ammonia with hydrobromic acid: NH3 + HBr -> NH4Br, or by neutralizing
In solution, NH4Br dissociates into NH4+ and Br-. The ammonium ion is a weak acid; thus aqueous
Uses and history: It is used as a source of bromide ion in chemical synthesis and qualitative
Safety: Ammonium bromide can irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory tract. Handle with gloves and eye protection;
