Sodium bromide

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Sodium bromide (Sedoneural, NaBr) is used as a hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and sedative in medicine. It is also used in photography and to establish a bromide ion reserve in a bromine spa treatment regimen.

Sodium bromide can be used as a source of the chemical element bromine. This can be accomplished by bubbling chlorine gas through an aqueous solution of sodium bromide.

2NaBr(aq) + Cl₂(g) -> 2NaCl(aq) + Br₂(aq,g,l)
