Question

1. what are the 3 rules for naming acids? rule 1: rule rule 2: rule 3: example

Explanation:

1. Binary acids (acids with hydrogen and one other non - metal element) are named with the prefix "hydro -" and the non - metal element's root followed by the suffix "-ic acid". For example, HCl is hydrochloric acid.
2. Oxyacids with an anion ending in "-ate" are named by changing the "-ate" to "-ic acid". For example, H₂SO₄ has the sulfate (SO₄²⁻) anion and is named sulfuric acid.
3. Oxyacids with an anion ending in "-ite" are named by changing the "-ite" to "-ous acid". For example, H₂SO₃ has the sulfite (SO₃²⁻) anion and is named sulfurous acid.

Answer:

Rule 1: Binary acids are named with "hydro -" prefix, non - metal root, and "-ic acid" suffix. Example: HCl is hydrochloric acid.
Rule 2: Oxyacids with "-ate" anions are named by changing "-ate" to "-ic acid". Example: H₂SO₄ is sulfuric acid.
Rule 3: Oxyacids with "-ite" anions are named by changing "-ite" to "-ous acid". Example: H₂SO₃ is sulfurous acid.
