== Chemistry == == Discovery ==
In 1905, Richards A. H. proved the existence of bromous acid through a series of experiments involving ] (AgNO<sub>3</sub>) and bromine.<ref name=":3">{{cite journal |last1=Richards |first1=A.

:Br<sub>2</sub> + AgNO<sub>3</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O → HBrO + AgBr + HNO<sub>3</sub>
Richards discovered that the effect of adding excess liquid bromine in a concentrated ] (AgNO<sub>3</sub>) resulted in a different reaction mechanism. From numbers of equivalent portions of acid bromine formed from the previous reaction, the ratio between oxygen and bromine was calculated, with the exact value of O:Br (0.149975:0.3745), suggesting the acid compound contains two oxygen atom to one bromine atom. Thus, the chemical structure of the acid compound was deducted as HBrO<sub>2</sub>.<ref name=":3" />


According to Richards, ] (HBrO) arises by the reaction of bromine and silver nitrate solution:<ref name=":3" />

The molecule HBrO<sub>2</sub> has a bent structure with ∠(H−O−Br) angles of 106.1°. HOBrO also adopts a non-planar conformation with one isomer structure (2a) adopting a dihedral angle ∠(H−O−Br−O) of 74.2°. Moreover, the planar structures of two other isomers (2b-''cis'' and 2c-''trans'') are transition state for fast enantiomerization.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Glaser |first1=Rainer |last2=Jost |first2=Mary |title=Disproportionation of Bromous Acid HOBrO by Direct O-Transfer and via Anhydrides O(BrO)<sub>2</sub> and BrO-BrO<sub>2</sub>.

Lastly, a synproportion reaction of bromic acid and hydrobromic acid gives bromous acid.{{Fact|date=January 2009}}
A oxidation reaction between ] (HBrO) and ] (HClO) can be used to produce bromous acid (HBrO<sub>2</sub>) and ] (HCl).{{cn|date=September 2023}}

== p''K''<sub>a</sub> measurement ==
The acid dissociation constant of bromous acid, ''K''<sub>a</sub> = <big>{{sfrac||}}</big>, was determined using different methods.

The value of the p''K''<sub>a</sub> for bromous acid was estimated in research studying the decomposition of bromites. The research measured the rate of bromite decomposition as a function of hydrogen and bromite ion concentrations. The experimental data of the log of the initial velocity were plotted against pH. Using this method, the estimated p''K''<sub>a</sub> value for bromous acid was 6.25.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Massagli |first1=A. |last2=Indelli |first2=A. |last3=Pergola |first3=F. |title=Kinetic investigation of the decomposition of bromite |journal=Inorganica Chimica Acta |date=1970 |volume=4 |pages=593–596 |doi=10.1016/S0020-1693(00)93357-7 }}</ref>

Using another method, the pK<sub>a</sub> for bromous acid was measured based on the initial velocity of the reaction between sodium bromites and potassium iodine in a pH range of 2.9–8.0, at 25&nbsp;°C and ionic strength of 0.06&nbsp;M. The first order dependence of the initial velocity of this ] on in a pH range of 4.5–8.0. The value of acid dissociation constant measured by this method is ''K''<sub>a</sub> = {{val|3.7|0.9|e=-4|u=M}} and p''K''<sub>a</sub> = {{val|3.43|0.05}}.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Faria |first1=R.

== Reactivity ==
In comparison to other oxygen-centered oxidants (hypohalites, anions of peroxides) and in line with its low basicity, bromite is a rather weak nucleophile.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mayer |first1=Robert J. |last2=Ofial |first2=Armin R. |title=Nucleophilic Reactivities of Bleach Reagents |journal=Organic Letters |date=18 May 2018 |volume=20 |issue=10 |pages=2816–2820 |doi=10.1021/acs.orglett.8b00645 |pmid=29741385 }}</ref> Rate constants of bromite towards carbocations and acceptor-substituted olefins are by 1–3 orders of magnitude lower than the ones measured with hypobromite.
