Naming Acids and Elements

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound HBr as hydrobromic acid using a flowchart and simple rules. It begins by identifying the elements in HBr and using the prefix 'hydro' for acids with two elements. The periodic table is referenced to find bromine, and the suffix 'ine' is replaced with 'ic' to form 'hydrobromic'. The process concludes with the full name 'hydrobromic acid'.

What is the first step in naming hydrobromic acid according to the flowchart?

• Identify the number of elements in the acid

• Add the word 'acid' at the end

• Look up the element on the periodic table

• Write the suffix 'ic'

When naming an acid with two elements, what prefix is used?

• Per

• Hydro

• Oxy

• Hypo

Which element is identified from the symbol 'Br' in the periodic table?

• Barium

• Beryllium

• Boron

• Bromine

What modification is made to the element name 'bromine' when naming hydrobromic acid?

• Replace 'ine' with 'ic'

• Add 'ous' to the end

• Replace 'ine' with 'ous'

• Add 'ate' to the end

What is the final word added to complete the name of the acid?

• Base

• Acid

• Solution

• Compound
