Bromic acid, also known as hydrogen bromate, is an oxoacid with the molecular formula HBrO3. It only exists in aqueous solution.[1][2] It is a colorless solution that turns yellow at room temperature as it decomposes to bromine.[1][3] Bromic acid and bromates are powerful oxidizing agents and are common ingredients in Belousov–Zhabotinsky reactions.[3][4] Belousov-Zhabotinsky reactions are a classic example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
