Lithium Bromide Powder Description
Lithium bromide powder is a white, granular powder with the molecular formula LiBr. It is highly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether, sparingly soluble in pyridine and soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, acetone and glycol. It functions as an efficient water vapour absorbent and humidity controller. Lithium bromide powder may also be utilised as an absorption refrigerant, as a reagent for the removal of hydrogen chloride in organic chemistry, as a fibre foam agent, as a medicinal hypnotic and sedative, in the photosensitive industry, as an analytical chemical reagent and as an electrolyte in certain high-energy batteries.
