Naming and Properties of Acids

The video tutorial explains how to name perchloric acid (HClO4) using a table of rules. It highlights that the 'per' prefix does not affect the naming process. The tutorial guides viewers through identifying the perchlorate ion (ClO4-) and balancing charges to form the HClO4 formula. The video concludes with a thank you from Dr. B.

What prefix is used in the name of perchloric acid that does not affect its naming?

• Hydro

• Ate

• Chlor

• Per

When naming acids that end in 'ic', what is the suffix changed to?

• Ous

• Ite

• Ide

• Ate

What is the chemical formula for the perchlorate ion?

• ClO-

• ClO2-

• ClO3-

• ClO4-

What is the charge of the hydrogen ion when forming an acid?

• Variable

• Positive

• Neutral

• Negative

How do the charges of hydrogen and perchlorate ion interact in perchloric acid?

• They both remain positive

• They form a neutral compound

• They both remain negative

• They cancel each other out

What is the final chemical formula for perchloric acid?

• HClO4

• HClO2

• HCl

• HClO3

Which of the following is NOT a step in naming perchloric acid?

• Adding a hydro prefix
