The Acid-Base Difference between Tungsten Tetrabromide and Tungsten Pentabromide

Tungsten tetrabromide (WBr4) and tungsten pentabromide (WBr5) have some differences in acidity and alkalinity.

Tungsten tetrabromide is an unstable compound, which is easy to decompose in air. Due to its decomposition properties, tungsten tetrabromide will generate hydrobromic acid (HBr) in aqueous solution, making the solution acidic. Therefore, tungsten tetrabromide can be regarded as an acidic compound.

Tungsten pentabromide is a relatively stable compound that is not easily decomposed. It does not produce hydrobromic acid in aqueous solution, so the acidity and alkalinity of tungsten pentabromide is relatively weak. Although tungsten pentabromide has a high bromine content, it does not release bromide ions, so it does not significantly change the acidity and alkalinity of the solution.
