Write the chemical equation for hbro reacting with water. what are the products? do you expect to have any hbro molecules left in solution when the reaction is completed/reaches equilibrium?

1. Reaction:

2. Yes, the solution will have HBrO molecules.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction involving hypobromous acid and water yields both hypobromite and hydronium ions as shown below:

Now, since hypobromous acid's pKa is about 2x10⁻⁹, such value indicates that it is not completely dissociated in this reaction, therefore, there will be an amount of hypobromous acid molecules even when the equilibrium is attained.

Best regards.
