HBR has various meanings in the Science category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of HBR in Science.
Hydrogen bromide is the diatomic molecule HBr. HBr is a gas at standard conditions. Hydrobromic acid forms upon dissolving HBr in water. Conversely, HBr can be liberated from hydrobromic acid solutions with the addition of a dehydration agent, but not by distillation. Hydrogen bromide and hydrobromic acid are, therefore, not the same, but they are related.
