Question

When HBr combines with water, it produces H3O+ and Br- ions. This shows that HBr is a base. true false

Answer 1

HBr is a strong acid

False

Answer 2

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bromide when dissolves in water it gives hydronium ions and bromide ions.The hydronium ions is due to association of hydrogen ion with water molecule.This means that hydrogen bromide is an acid.

$HBr+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Br^-$

Where as bases are those compounds which free hydroxide ion sin their aqueous solutions.

$BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^$

So, from this we concluded that HBr is not a base but an acid.
