Zinc bromide (Zn Br₂) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn Br₂. It is a colourless salt that shares many properties with zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), namely a high solubility in water forming acidic solutions, and good solubility in organic solvents. It is hygroscopic and forms a dihydrate ZnBr₂·2H₂O.
