Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall naming of binary acids

Binary acids with hydrogen and a non - oxygen element are named as hydro - <non - oxygen element root> - ic acid. For HI, the non - oxygen element is iodine. So, it is hydroiodic acid.

Step2: Recall naming of oxyacids

For $HNO_2$, the polyatomic ion is nitrite ($NO_2^-$). Oxyacids with the polyatomic ion ending in - ite are named as <root of polyatomic ion> - ous acid. So, $HNO_2$ is nitrous acid.

Step3: Calculate formula mass of potassium nitrate

The formula of potassium nitrate is $KNO_3$. The atomic masses are: $K = 39.10$ amu, $N=14.01$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. The formula mass $=39.10+14.01 + 3\times16.00=39.10 + 14.01+48.00 = 101.11$ amu (close to 101.10 amu considering rounding differences).

Step4: Calculate formula masses of given compounds

For $CO_2$: Atomic masses: $C = 12.01$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. Formula mass $=12.01+2\times16.00=44.01$ amu. For $SiO_2$: Atomic masses: $Si = 28.09$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. Formula mass $=28.09+2\times16.00 = 60.09$ amu. For $H_2O$: Atomic masses: $H = 1.01$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. Formula mass $=2\times1.01+16.00 = 18.02$ amu. For $NO_2$: Atomic masses: $N = 14.01$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. Formula mass $=14.01+2\times16.00 = 46.01$ amu. For $SO_2$: Atomic masses: $S = 32.07$ amu, $O = 16.00$ amu. Formula mass $=32.07+2\times16.00 = 64.07$ amu. So, $SO_2$ has the largest formula mass.
