Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that hydrobromic acid is a binary acid composed of hydrogen and bromine without oxygen atoms.
Recall that binary acids have the general formula HX, where H is hydrogen and X is a halogen element such as bromine.
Analyze the given options: HBrO and HBrO3 contain oxygen atoms, which are characteristic of oxyacids, not hydrobromic acid.
Recognize that H2Br is not a common or correct formula for hydrobromic acid because it suggests two hydrogens bonded to bromine, which is not typical for this acid.
Conclude that the correct formula for hydrobromic acid is HBr, representing one hydrogen atom bonded to one bromine atom.
