Acid Nomenclature Science 10 Chemical Reactions
Recognizing Acids • Acids can be recognized from their formula: • An acid’s formula either • starts with H or • ends with COOH
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ide,” the acid is named as a “hydro ------ ic” acid. • Examples are hydrochloric acid, HCl, and hydrocyanic acid, HCN.
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ate”, the acid is named as a “------- ic” acid. • Examples are nitric acid, HNO3, and sulphuric acid, H2SO4.
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ite,” the acid is named as a “------ ous” acid. • Examples are sulphurous acid, H2SO3, and nitrous acid, HNO2.
