Description
Calcium bromide (CAS: 7789-41-5) is an inorganic compound composed of calcium and bromine elements, with the molecular formula CaBr2. It is a colorless, hygroscopic crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water, ethanol and acetone. Calcium bromide (CAS: 7789-41-5) is chemically stable under normal conditions but tends to absorb moisture from the air, requiring sealed storage. It is non-flammable but may react with strong oxidants, and its aqueous solution is slightly alkaline.
Synonyms
Calcium dibromide, Calcium bromatum, Dibromocalcium, Calcium (II) bromide, Bromocalcium
