Potassium Bromide ACS

Potassium Bromide ACS Grade CAS: 7758-02-3 | M.F: KBr | MW: 119.00, Buy now for reliable and Reproducible results from ChemieR Inorganic Reagent at Chemical World.

Potassium Bromide ACS Grade is an inorganic crystalline white substance that is very soluble in water. It is tasteless and has a pungent, bitter saline flavor. It is chemically made of potassium and bromine and its molecular formula is KBr which has a molecular weight of 119.00. It can also be called bromide salt of potassium, Kalii bromidum or Tripotassium tribromide. The production of the compound is carried out by heating the potassium carbonate and iron bromide under controlled conditions. At pH 7, aqueous solutions are neutral. It is also common in analytical laboratories and research institutions as well as chemical production companies, due to its high level of purity and adherence to ACS standards.

Applications

  • Infrared Spectroscopy (IR Analysis): ACS grade, potassium bromide is widely employed as a clear matrix in IR spectroscopy. To achieve accurate infrared spectral analysis, samples are pulverized with KBr powder and pressed into discs.
  • Analytical Chemistry/Laboratory Reagent: Applied frequently in titrations, biochemical testing, and quantitative chemical analysis to ascertain the constituents of different solutions.
  • Photography & Imaging: Historically used in photographic processes to achieve a sharp, detailed reproduction of images.
  • Chemical Synthesis: It serves as an environmentally friendly source of bromine to brominate 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and as a precursor to other bromine-containing compounds.

Key features

  • High Purity (ACS Certified): Produced to strict ACS standards, making it suitable in analytical and industrial-grade uses.
  • Repeatable and Reliable Results: Provides reliability in laboratory tests and chemical synthesis processes.
  • Superior Transparency in the Spectroscope: It has excellent optical characteristics, which make it suitable in IR spectrometer optics and infrared spectroscopy.
  • Neutral and Stable Solution (pH = 7): Stable in water, applicable to delicate and accuracy-driven laboratory work.
  • Highly Water Soluble: Dissolves freely in water, enabling its use in a wide range of laboratory and industrial chemical applications.

General Description

Potassium Bromide ACS Grade (CAS No. 7758-02-3) is a high-grade inorganic salt purified to over 99%. It comes as crystalline white and is widely applied in laboratories, research settings and industrial chemical manufacturing facilities. The compound is water-soluble and has no odor with a bitter saline taste. KBr is its molecular formula and its molecular weight is 119.00. This contributes to the fact that Potassium Bromide ACS is a valuable chemical reagent for high-level research, spectroscopy, and quantitative analysis. It is recognized as a synthesis product of iron bromide and potassium carbonate in a controlled reaction under regulated temperature and pressure conditions; thus, it is also referred to as potassium bromide salt, Kalii bromidum or Tripotassium Tribromide. The resultant aqueous solution has a neutral pH of about 7 and it can be safely and effectively used in various reactions in laboratories and in industries. Potassium Bromide ACS Grade finds application in the organic synthesis process, analytical chemistry and especially the infrared spectroscopy process, where it is utilized to create IR optics and spectroscopic sample discs.
