Bromine Water Extra Pure is a highly purified aqueous solution of bromine, commonly used in laboratory settings for qualitative analysis, halogenation reactions, and redox studies. It acts as a powerful oxidizing and electrophilic brominating agent, making it ideal for detecting unsaturation in organic compounds—such as alkenes and alkynes—through decolorization tests. In inorganic chemistry, it is utilized for oxidation of specific ions and elements in solution. The extra pure grade ensures low contamination and consistent bromine concentration, crucial for reproducible analytical results. It should be stored in amber, airtight containers in a cool, well-ventilated area, and handled with proper protective equipment due to its corrosive and volatile nature.

Description

Bromine Water Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Test for Unsaturation in Organic Compounds

    • Bromine water decolorizes in the presence of alkenes or alkynes, indicating the presence of C=C or C≡C bonds—a classic qualitative test in organic labs.

  2. Phenol and Aromatic Compound Testing

    • Used to detect phenols and other electron-rich aromatic compounds through bromination reactions that form white precipitates (e.g., 2,4,6-tribromophenol).

  3. Mild Oxidizing Agent in Redox Reactions

    • Acts as a moderate oxidizer for studying redox behavior in inorganic and general chemistry labs.

Secondary Uses

  1. Demonstrating Halogen Reactivity

    • Common in teaching labs to demonstrate halogen displacement reactions and reactivity trends across Group 17 elements.

  2. Colorimetry and Reaction Rate Studies

    • Used in kinetic experiments to observe rate of decolorization with different substances—excellent for reaction rate studies in physical chemistry.

  3. Preparation of Brominated Derivatives

    • Sometimes used as a reagent source of Br₂ in gentle bromination reactions or derivative formation for structure elucidation.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

    • Use chemical splash goggles, face shield, nitrile or neoprene gloves, and a chemical-resistant lab coat.

    • Always handle in a fume hood to avoid inhaling vapors.

  2. Handling:

    • Do not inhale the vapors — bromine is highly irritating and corrosive.

    • Avoid all contact with skin and eyes.

    • Handle containers carefully and slowly, keeping tightly closed when not in use.

  3. Storage:

    • Store in light-resistant glass containers, tightly sealed, in a cool, well-ventilated area.

    • Keep away from organic materials, alkalis, and metals.

    • Segregate from flammable and reactive chemicals.

  4. Incompatibilities:

    • Reacts violently with ammonia, alkalis, and organic matter.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  1. Inhalation:

    • Move to fresh air immediately.

    • If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

    • Seek urgent medical attention — bromine vapors are toxic to the lungs.

  2. Skin Contact:

    • Remove contaminated clothing.

    • Rinse affected skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

    • Get medical attention immediately.

  3. Eye Contact:

    • Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids.
