Naming and Formulas of Acids

This video tutorial explains how to name acids and bases, focusing on the rules for naming acids based on their conjugate bases. It covers the 'ate', 'ite', and 'ide' rules, providing examples such as acetic acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, and hydrochloric acid. The video emphasizes recognizing acids by the presence of hydrogen and explains the differences in naming based on the endings of the conjugate bases.

What are common bases typically composed of?

• Transition metals

• Single elements

• Common polyatomic ions

• Noble gases

How do you name an acid derived from a polyatomic ion ending in 'ate'?

• Add 'ous' to the root

• Add 'ic' to the root

• Add 'ide' to the root

• Add 'ate' to the root

What is the formula for acetic acid?

• HNO3

• CH3COOH

• H2SO4

• HCl

Which rule is used for naming acids derived from polyatomic ions ending in 'ite'?

• The 'ous' rule

What is the formula for nitrous acid?

• HClO

• H2SO3

• HNO2

• HNO3

How do you name an acid derived from a halide?

• Add 'ous' to the root

• Add 'ic' to the root

• Add 'hydro' before the root

• Add 'ate' to the root

What is the name of the acid with the formula HCl?

• Hydrobromic acid

• Hydrofluoric acid

• Hydrochloric acid

• Hydroiodic acid

Which of the following is a correct statement about naming acids?

• Acids derived from 'ite' ions use the 'ous' suffix

What is the name of the acid with the formula HBr?

• Hydroiodic acid

• Hydrofluoric acid

• Hydrobromic acid

• Hydrochloric acid

Which rule is applied when naming acids derived from halogens?

• The 'ate' rule

• The 'ite' rule

• The 'ide' rule

• The 'ous' rule
