the dipole moment indicated is not correct. It should be 0.82 D (820 mD) and not 82 mD as indicated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjpfmoreno ( talk • contribs) 15:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I support the merger of HBr and hydrobromic acid. These are distinct species as can be explained in the article but 99% or those seeking info from WE will not understand the distinction. Also most of the chemistry of these two species is highly inter-related. -- Smokefoot 17:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I too support the merger. Karlhahn 00:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Since hydrobromic acid is simply hydrogen bromide in aqueous form, the two species should be handled together. --

just be sure to tell readers that these species are not identical. hydrobromic acid is a fully ionized species of relatively vague nature H9O4+ Br-? whereas hydrogen bromide is a covalent, non-ionic species. Also, interestingly, one can be made from the other. (hence it being a gas at STP).-- Smokefoot 21:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. While structurally compounds are similar, their uses vary. hydrobromic acid is useful in the synthesis of inorganic bromides and organic substitution reactions while hydrogen bromide is more useful in organic reactions. There is not a lot on one page the relates to the other except that dissolving one in water yields the other. Dracofhc 20:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Mark
Readers should be able to distinguish the two acids, instead of just thinking of them as the same thing.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO WAY!!!!!!!
I agree with Mark - it makes sense to keep them seperate, but HBr, which currently redirects to hydrobromic acid, should really redirect to hydrogen bromide. Chris
Hydrogen bromide is HBr, while Hydrobromic acid is HBrO3
However, it should be stated that HBr is reffered to as hydrobromic acid only when it is sufficiently ionized in an aqueous solution. -- 65.25.48.230 19:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC) by E-unit
Hydrogen chloride and hydrochloric acid are not very good articles, in contrast with hydroiodic acid/hydrogen iodide, which have been merged. In fact, notice that this article is still labeled as a stub. HCl(g) and (aq) should be merged, too, I think. Both the acids and the diatomic molecules them selves are just as oftenly used in inorganic and organic synthesis, what do you mean? Anyhow, it's just two different states, one aqueous one gaseous; we don't separate steam, ice, and water, do we? Kr5t 21:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Most of the information on the hydrobromic acid page is already on the hydrogen bromide page (except for the SO2 preparation). Indeed the hydrogen bromide page is already virtually a merged version. Karlhahn 00:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Should the equations be HTML based not LaTex based? it looks like its really screwing with the page layouts.
