Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid formed by dissolving the diatomic molecule hydrogen bromide (HBr) in water. Constant boiling hydrobromic acid is an aqueous solution that distills at 124.3 °C and contains 47.6% HBr by weight which is 8.89 mol/L. Hydrobromic acid has a pKa of −9 making it a stronger acid than hydrochloric acid but not as strong as hydroiodic acid. Hydrobromic acid is one of the strongest mineral acids known.
