Read each question carefully and provide the correct name or chemical formula for the acids described. Remember the rules for naming binary acids and oxyacids.
1. Binary acids are named by adding the prefix "hydro-" to the root of the nonmetal, followed by the suffix "-ic acid". For example, HCl is named .
2. The chemical formula for hydrobromic acid is .
3. H₂S is commonly known as .
4. Which of the following is the correct name for H₂SO₄?
Hydrosulfuric acid
Sulfurous acid
Sulfuric acid
Hyposulfurous acid
5. What is the chemical formula for Nitrous acid?
HNO₃
HNO₂
H₂NO₃
H₂NO₂
6. Explain the difference in naming convention between hydrochloric acid and chloric acid.
7. Provide the chemical formula for perchloric acid and hypochlorous acid.
Match each acid name on the left with its correct chemical formula on the right.
8. Phosphoric acid
a. H₂CO₃
9. Carbonic acid
b. H₃PO₄
10. Acetic acid
c. HF
11. Hydrofluoric acid
d. CH₃COOH
12. The prefix 'hydro-' is used exclusively for binary acids.
True
False
13. If an oxyanion ends in '-ite', the corresponding acid will end in '-ic acid'.
True
False
Acid rain is a real-world example of acids in our environment. While not directly related to nomenclature, understanding acid properties is essential.
