Questions and Answers

What are three rules for naming acids?

  • Anion ends in 'ate', becomes 'ous'. (correct)
  • Anion ends in 'ite', becomes 'ic'. (correct)
  • Anion ends in 'ide', gets prefix 'hydro' and suffix 'ic'. (correct)
  • Anion ends in 'ene' and becomes 'ic'.

Study Notes

Naming Acids

  • Rule 1: If the anion ends in "ide," add the prefix "hydro" and use the suffix "ic" for the acid name.
  • Rule 2: For anions ending in "ite," use the anion stem followed by "ous" to name the acid.
  • Rule 3: For anions ending in "ate," use the anion stem with the suffix "ic" to name the acid.

Formulas of Acids

  • Formulas for acids are derived from the established naming rules, ensuring accurate representation based on the anion's characteristics.

Naming Bases

  • Bases are named by stating the cation first, followed by the name of the anion, following standard nomenclature practices.
