Introduction to Acids and Bases Computer Lab. In this chapter, the clue that it is a base is the presence of the hydroxide ion (OH - ). The following are therefore bases: LiOH Mg(OH) 2 NH 4 OH Sn(OH) 4 CuOH. To name a Base, just use the rules we learned for naming Binary Ionic Compounds.

In this chapter, the clue that it is a base is the presence of the hydroxide ion (OH-). • The following are therefore bases: • LiOH • Mg(OH)2 • NH4OH • Sn(OH)4 • CuOH
To name a Base, just use the rules we learned for naming Binary Ionic Compounds. • ***Be careful if there is a Transition Metal in the molecule! You must use Roman Numerals to show the charge of the T.M.! • Examples:
Acids: • To Name an Acid, first you must look at the ANION in the molecule. • H2S The Anion is S2- which is called Sulfide • H2SO3 The Anion is SO32- which is called Sulfite • HNO3 The Anion is NO3- which is called Nitrate
After identifying the Anion, the next step is to name the acid using the rules below. • A TYPE 1 Acid has an Anion that ends in ide. IT WILL HAVE HYDRO and IC IN THE NAME. • For example, H2S will be Hydrosulfuric Acid. • A TYPE 2 Acid has an Anion that ends in ite. IT WILL HAVE –OUS IN THE NAME. • For example, H2SO3 will be Sulfurous Acid. • A TYPE 3 Acid has an Anion that ends in ate. IT WILL HAVE IC IN THE NAME. • For example, HNO3 will be Nitric Acid.
