Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When hydrogen bromide gas (HBr) dissolves in water, it reacts with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+) and bromide ions (Br-), resulting in an acidic solution. This aqueous solution is called hydrobromic acid (HBr). Therefore, the correct name for an aqueous solution of HBr is hydrobromic acid (option B).
