bromate

Machine-translated from the German article

In chemistry, bromates are the salts of bromic acid HBrO3 containing the bromate anion (BrO3−), in which bromine has the oxidation state +V. The term bromates is also used for the esters of bromic acid. Bromates are formed by disproportionation of bromine in hot alkali solutions (50–80 °C) or by oxidation of hot alkaline bromide solutions with chlorine: Similar to chlorates or iodates, bromates are strong oxidizing agents.
