Naming and Properties of H3PO4

The video tutorial explains how to name H3PO4 as phosphoric acid using a flowchart and a common ion table. It identifies H as the acid component and PO4 as a polyatomic ion. The charges of H and PO4 are calculated, and PO4 3- is located on the ion table as the phosphate ion. The naming process involves modifying 'phosphate' to 'phosphoric acid', with a special note on the exception for phosphorus.

What is the first step in naming H3PO4 using the flowchart?

• Identify the polyatomic ion

• Determine the charge of hydrogen

• Check the number of elements

• Use the common ion table

What charge does the PO4 group have in H3PO4?

• 0

• -3

• -2

• -1

How many hydrogen ions are present in H3PO4?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

What is the role of the common ion table in naming H3PO4?

• To find the charge of hydrogen

• To calculate the molecular weight

• To identify the polyatomic ion

• To determine the number of elements

Which ion is identified as PO4 3- in the common ion table?

• Carbonate

• Phosphate

• Nitrate

• Sulfate

What suffix is used when naming acids that end with 'ate'?

• ate

• ic

• ous

• ide

What is the exception to the naming rule for phosphorus in H3PO4?

• Remove the 'or'

• Add 'ous' instead of 'ic'

• Keep the 'or' in the name

• Use 'ate' instead of 'ic'

What is the final name for H3PO4 after considering all naming rules and exceptions?

• Phosphide acid

• Phosphate acid

• Phosphoric acid
