Acid Names and Formulas | Acid Names and Formulas |
---|---|
sulfuric acid*** | H2 SO4 |
sulfurous acid** | H2 SO3 |
phosphoric acid*** | H3 PO4 |
phosphorous acid** | H3 PO3 |
carbonic acid*** | H2 CO3 |
hydrogen carbonate** | H CO3 (-1). This is an acid because it can lose that H to become CO3 (-2). |
hydrochloric acid*** | HCl(aq) |
hydrobromic acid** | HBr(aq) |
hydroiodic acid** | HI(aq) |
hydrofluoric acid** | HF(aq) |
nitric acid*** | H NO3 |
nitrous acid** | H NO2 |
acetic acid** | CH3COOH (the acidic H is on the right) |
periodic acid | H IO4 |
iodic acid* | H IO3 |
iodous acid* | H IO2 |
hypoiodous acid | H IO |
perbromic acid | H BrO4 |
bromic acid* | H BrO3 |
bromous acid* | H BrO2 |
hypobromous acid | H BrO |
chromic acid* | H2 CrO4 |
chromous acid* | H CrO2 |
H2 SO4 | sulfuric acid*** |
H2 SO3 | sulfurous acid** |

H3 PO3 | phosphorus acid** |
H2 CO3 | carbonic acid*** |
H CO3 (-1) | hydrogen carbonate** |
HCl(aq) | hydrochloric acid*** |
HBr(aq) | hydrobromic acid** |

H BrO | hypobromous acid |
H2 CrO4 | chromic acid* |
H CrO2 | chromous acid* |
What are the five hydro___ic acids? What's the oddball one? | HI, HF, HCl, HBr (all aqueous). Hydrocyanic acid (HCN) has a polyatomic anion, cyanide (CN-). The first four are more important. |
H ClO4 | perchloric acid** |
H ClO3 | chloric acid** |
H ClO2 | chlorous acid** |
H ClO | hypochlorous acid** |
If an anion is hypo___ite, its corresponding acid is | hypo___ous acid |
If an anion is ___ate, its corresponding acid is | ___ic acid |
If an anion is ___ide, it's corresponding acid is | hydro___ic acid |
If an anion is per___ate, its corresponding acid is | per___ic acid |
If an anion is ___ite, its corresponding acid is | ___ous acid |
What is the anion in a hypo___ous acid? | hypo___ite |
What is the anion in hydro___ic acid? | ___ide |
What is the anion in ___ic acid? | ___ate |
What is the anion in per___ic acid? | per___ate |
What is sulfuric acid's anion? | sulfate, SO4 (-2) |
When carbonic acid loses an H, what's the resulting anion? | hydrogen carbonate, HCO3(-1) |
When carbonic acid loses 2 H's, what's the resulting anion? | carbonate, CO3 (-2) |
When phosphoric acid loses all its H's, what's the resulting anion? | phosphate, PO4 (-3) |
When nitric acid loses its hydrogen, what's the resulting anion? | nitrate, NO3 (-1) |
When acetic acid loses it's acidic H, what's the resulting anion? | acetate, CH3COO- |
