Question

ami day: nomenclature for acids name correctly name the following acids according to the rules for naming binary acids and oxyacids. resources & notes included on additional pages. lock! 1. h₂s 2. h₂cro₄ 3. hf 4. h₂so₃ 5. h₃p 6. hno₂ 7. hcn (exception acid) 8. hclo₃ 9. h₂se 10. h₃po₃ 11. hcl 12. hclo₂ 13. h₂s 14. h₂sio₃ 15. hbr 16. hclo₄

Explanation:

Step1: Name binary acids (H + nonmetal)

Binary acids use the prefix "hydro-", root of nonmetal + "-ic acid". Oxyacids use anion root + "-ic" (if anion ends in "-ate") or "-ous" (if anion ends in "-ite").

Step2: Name each acid systematically

1. $\ce{H2S}$: Binary acid, root "sulfur" → hydrosulfuric acid
2. $\ce{H2C2O4}$: Oxyacid, anion oxalate → oxalic acid
3. $\ce{HF}$: Binary acid, root "fluorine" → hydrofluoric acid
4. $\ce{H3BO3}$: Oxyacid, anion borate → boric acid
5. $\ce{H3P}$: Binary acid, root "phosphorus" → hydrophosphoric acid
6. $\ce{HNO2}$: Oxyacid, anion nitrite → nitrous acid
7. $\ce{HCN}$: Exception, named hydrocyanic acid
8. $\ce{HClO4}$: Oxyacid, anion perchlorate → perchloric acid
9. $\ce{H2Se}$: Binary acid, root "selenium" → hydroselenic acid
10. $\ce{H3PO3}$: Oxyacid, anion phosphite → phosphorous acid
11. $\ce{HCl}$: Binary acid, root "chlorine" → hydrochloric acid
12. $\ce{HClO3}$: Oxyacid, anion chlorate → chloric acid
13. $\ce{H2Te}$: Binary acid, root "tellurium" → hydrotelluric acid
14. $\ce{H2SiO3}$: Oxyacid, anion silicate → silicic acid
15. $\ce{HBr}$: Binary acid, root "bromine" → hydrobromic acid
16. $\ce{HIO4}$: Oxyacid, anion periodate → periodic acid

Answer:

1. Hydrosulfuric acid
2. Oxalic acid
3. Hydrofluoric acid
4. Boric acid
5. Hydrophosphoric acid
6. Nitrous acid
7. Hydrocyanic acid
8. Perchloric acid
9. Hydroselenic acid
10. Phosphorous acid
11. Hydrochloric acid
12. Chloric acid
13. Hydrotelluric acid
14. Silicic acid
15. Hydrobromic acid
16. Periodic acid
