4HBrO ⇄ 2H2O + 2Br2 + O2
2HBrO ⇄ H2O + 2[Br] + [O]
The decomposition of hypobromous acid to produce water, bromine and oxygen. This reaction takes place initiated by the absorption of energy in the form of light and a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is can be platinum, iron.
As a result, reaction is produced atomic oxygen and atomic bromine.
As a result, reaction is produced atomic oxygen and atomic bromine.
