At room temperature, sodium bromide is a colorless cubic crystal or white granular powder, belonging to the equiaxed crystal system, odorless, with a slightly bitter taste, and highly toxic. It is easy to absorb moisture and clump in the air, but it does not deliquescence. It is slightly soluble in alcohol and easily soluble in water (with a solubility of 121g in 100ml of water at 100 ºC). Its aqueous solution is neutral and conductive. At 51 ºC, anhydrous sodium bromide crystals precipitate in the solution, while below 51 ºC, dihydrate is formed. Its bromide ion can be replaced by fluorine and chlorine. Under acidic conditions, it can be oxidized by oxygen to free bromine, which is utilized in industry to produce bromine. Can react with dilute sulfuric acid to generate hydrogen bromide. But hydrobromic acid is a strong acid and cannot be produced by reacting with dilute sulfuric acid. Only high boiling point acids can be used to produce low boiling point acids, but concentrated sulfuric acid cannot be used because concentrated sulfuric acid has strong oxidizing properties and will oxidize -1 valent bromine to elemental bromine, releasing a reddish brown gas. This method can be used to identify sodium iodide (sodium iodide and concentrated sulfuric acid are heated, releasing a purple red gas), so only concentrated phosphoric acid and sodium bromide can be used to produce hydrogen bromide by solid heating. Bromine ions can enhance the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex and promote its concentration. Medically, it can be used as a sedative, hypnotic, or anticonvulsant. When a person swallows or inhales this compound, it can cause damage to the central nervous system, brain, and eyes, as well as irritating reactions to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
