Predict the products of the reaction below. That is, complete the right-hand side of the chemical equation. Be sure your equation is balanced and contains s symbols after every reactant and product.

Question

HBr(aq) + H2O(l) —>

Answer 1

The reaction between hydrobromic acid (HBr) and water (H2O) can be expressed as follows:

\[ \text{HBr}(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow \text{H}_3\text{O}^+(aq) + \text{Br}^-(aq) \]

The products of the reaction are hydronium ions (H3O⁺) and bromide ions (Br⁻).

Now, let's put this in the requested balanced equation format with the appropriate states:

\[ \text{HBr}(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow \text{H}_3\text{O}^+(aq) + \text{Br}^-(aq) \]

This equation is balanced with respect to both mass and charge.
