Naming Acids and Bases

Naming Acids and Bases. Acids are…. Compounds that give off hydrogen ions (H + ) when dissolved in water (the Arrhenius definition) Generally start with H. There will always be some Hydrogen next to an anion. The anion determines the name.

  1. Naming Acids and Bases

  2. Acids are… • Compounds that give off hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water (the Arrhenius definition) • Generally start with H. • There will always be some Hydrogen next to an anion. • The anion determines the name.

  3. Rules for Naming acids: Name it as a normal compound first • If the anion attached to hydrogen ends in -ide, put the prefix hydro- and change -ide to -ic acid • HCl - hydrogen ion and chloride ion = hydrochloric acid • H2S hydrogen ion and sulfide ion = hydrosulfuric acid

  4. Naming Acids • If the anion has oxygen in it, then it ends in -ate or -ite • change the suffix -ate to -ic acid (use no prefix) • Example: HNO3 Hydrogen and nitrate ions = Nitric acid • change the suffix -ite to -ous acid (use no prefix) • Example: HNO2 Hydrogen and nitrite ions = Nitrous acid

  5. Naming Acids Normal ending ____-ide ____-ate ____-ite Acid name is… hydro-___-ic acid _____-ic acid _____-ous acid

  6. 2 additional rules • If the acid has 1 more oxygen than the –ic acid, add the prefix per- • HClO3(Hydrogen Chlorate)is chloric acid • HClO4 would be perchloric acid • If there is 1 less oxygen than the -ous acid, add the prefix hypo- • HClO2 (Hydrogen Chlorite) is chlorous acid, then HClO would be hypochlorous acid

  7. Practice by naming these: • HF • H3P • H2SO4 • H2SO3 • HCN • H2CrO4

  8. Naming Bases • Bases tend to end with hydroxide (OH-) • Bases are named the same way as ionic compounds: • The name of the cation is followed by the name of the anion (which will be hydroxide). • NaOH is sodium hydroxide • Ca(OH)2 is calcium hydroxide

  9. Writing Formulas – Acid • Hydrogen will be listed first • The name will tell you the anion • Be sure the charges cancel out. • Starts with prefix hydro? -ide ending for anion • no prefix hydro? • -ate anion comes from –ic ending • -ite anion comes from –ous ending

  10. Write formulas for these: • hydroiodic acid • acetic acid • carbonic acid • phosphorous acid • hydrobromic acid

  11. Writing Formulas- Bases • To write the formula: • Write the symbol for the metal cation • followed by the formula for the hydroxide ion (OH1-) • then use the criss-cross method to balance the charges.

  12. Practice by writing the formula for the following: • Magnesium hydroxide • Iron (III) hydroxide • Zinc hydroxide
