Question

which of the following generally specifies the name of an oxyacid where the oxyanion name ends in -ite as with the acid hno₂? <modified anion name>ic acid <modified anion name>ous acid hydro<modified anion name>ous acid hydro<modified anion name>ic acid question 19 1 pts the <modified anion name> for acids of the oxyanions of sulfur and phosphorous are unique and written as ________ and ________ respectively. <sulfur>, <phosphic> <sulfic>, <phosphor> <sulfur>, <phosphor> <sulfic>, <phosphic>

Explanation:

1. For oxyacids where the oxy - anion name ends in -ite, the acid is named as <modified anion name>ous acid. For example, the oxy - anion $NO_2^-$ (nitrite) forms $HNO_2$ (nitrous acid).
2. The acids of the oxyanions of sulfur and phosphorous have unique <modified anion name>s. The acid of the sulfite ($SO_3^{2 - }$) is sulfurous acid, so the <modified anion name> is sulfur, and the acid of the phosphite ($HPO_3^{2 - }$) is phosphorous acid, so the <modified anion name> is phosphor.

Answer:

1. <modified anion name>ous acid
2. <sulfur>, <phosphor>
