Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bromide when dissolves in water it gives hydronium ions and bromide ions.The hydronium ions is due to association of hydrogen ion with water molecule.This means that hydrogen bromide is an acid.

[tex]HBr+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Br^-[/tex]

Where as bases are those compounds which free hydroxide ion sin their aqueous solutions.

[tex]BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^[/tex]

So, from this we concluded that HBr is not a base but an acid.
