colorless rhombic crystals or white crystalline powders. Odorless and salty. d25 2.429, sublimation at 540 °c. Soluble in water and alcohol, slightly soluble in ether. Placed in the air slightly hygroscopic, and slightly decomposed, the precipitation of a small amount of bromine and yellow color. The pure state is stable to light and air. The aqueous solution is neutral or weakly acidic, and reacts with silver nitrate to form a light yellow silver bromide precipitate.
The use of liquid ammonia, bromine and water synthesis, activated carbon decolorization, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, drying.
It is used in the medical field as a sedative and in the treatment of epilepsy, etc. It can also be used for the titration analysis of copper in photographic film, photographic paper, photosensitive emulsifier, fire retardant in Wood Industry and analytical chemistry.
