HClO4
What is the correct name for the compound HCl(aq) when dissolved in water?
Hydrochloric acid
Which of the following is a correct naming convention for binary acids?
Change 'hydrogen' to 'hydro-', modify the nonmetallic element name, and add 'acid' as a second word.
What is the correct name for the compound HNO2 when dissolved in water?
Nitrous acid
Which gas dissolved in water would create hydrosulfuric acid?
H2S(g)
What is the correct name for the compound HClO4 when dissolved in water?
Perchloric acid
Why is H2SO4 called sulfuric acid instead of sulfic acid?
To conform to traditional naming conventions
What happens to the name of the anion when naming an oxyacid?
-ite is replaced with -ous
What would be the correct name for HC2H3O2 when naming it as an acid?
Acetic acid
What is the correct name for H3PO4 when naming it as an oxyacid?
Phosphoric acid
What is a correct way to name binary acids?
Remove hydrogen, add hydro- to nonmetallic element, and add 'acid'.
What is the correct way to name an oxyacid?
Start with the root name of the anion, replace -ate with -ic, replace -ite with -ous, add 'acid'
When naming a binary acid, what is the role of the prefix 'hydro-'?
It replaces the word 'hydrogen'
Why is HNO3 named nitric acid?
Following the naming convention where -ate is replaced with -ic and 'acid' is added
What is the correct way to name hydrosulfuric acid when written as a gas?
H2S(g) is hydrosulfuric acid
Which of the following correctly describes the naming of sulfuric acid?
H2SO4 is named sulfuric acid according to naming exceptions
How is the name of an oxyacid determined when naming it correctly?
Start with the root name of the anion, replace -ate with -ic, or -ite with -ous, and then add 'acid'.
Explain the correct naming convention for binary acids.
For binary acids, the word 'hydrogen' is changed to 'hydro-', the other nonmetallic element name is modified by adding '-ic', and 'acid' is added as a second word.
Why is HNO3 named nitric acid instead of following the general naming method for oxyacids?
HNO3 is named nitric acid due to an exception in the general oxyacid naming method, where the -ate anion is replaced with -ic to form the acid name.
What is the correct name for the compound H2SO4 when dissolved in water?
sulfuric acid
How is the name 'hydrosulfuric acid' formed when naming it as a gas?
The name 'hydrosulfuric acid' is derived from the gas H2S by changing the suffix of the anion name to '-ic' and adding 'acid'.
