Acid-Base nomenclature

Question 1

Acids formed from anions with names that end in -IDE have the prefix HYDRO- and ending -IC

Answer 1

F^- (fluoride) => HF (hydrofluoric acid

Cl^- (chloride) => HCl (Hydrochloric acid)

Question 2

If anions end with -ITE, then the acid will end with - OUR ACID

Answer 2

ClO^- (chlorite) => HClO2 => chlorous acid

Question 3

If anions end with -ATE, then the acid will end with -IC ACID

Answer 3

ClO3^- (chlorate) => HClO3 chloric acid

Question 4

ClO^-

Answer 4

HClO = Hypochlorous acid

Question 5

ClO4^-

Answer 5

HClO4 = perchloric acid

Question 6

NO2^-

Answer 6

HNO2 = nitriour acid

Question 7

NO3^-

Answer 7

HNO3 = nitric acid
