select the correct answer. imagine that a new polyatomic anion called \platoate\ is invented. what would an acid of \platoate\ be named? a. hydroplatonic acid b. platonic acid c. platonous acid d. hydroplatonous acid e. sodium platonide

Explanation:

When naming an acid from a polyatomic anion, if the anion ends in -ate, the acid is named by changing the -ate to -ic and adding the word "acid". Since the anion is "platoate", the acid would be named "platonic acid".

B. platonic acid
