Oxyacids
● Any acid containing hydrogen and an
oxyanion
o
oxyanion- a polyatomic ion containing oxygen
Naming Oxyacids
1.
2.
3.
4.
Identify the oxyanion
Find the root of the oxyanion
Change the suffix
Add “acid” to the end
-ate
-ic
-ite
-ous
Example: HNO3
1. Identify HNO3 as an Oxyacid
2. Identify the polyatomic
a.
Nitrate(NO3)
3. Change the suffix
a.
Nitrate→ Nitric
4. Add the word “acid”
All together…
Nitric Acid
Example 2: Carbonic Acid
1. Identify Carbonic Acid as an oxyacid
2. Take off the word “acid”
a.
Carbonic
3. Change the suffix using the chart to identify
the polyatomic acid
a.
Carbonic → Carbonate
4. Use the polyatomic formula
a.
CO3-2
5. Add Hydrogen to beginning
a.
-ic
-ate
-ous
-ite
H2CO3
6. Dont forget to swap and drop!!!
Binary Acids
● Contains hydrogen and one other element
Naming Binary Acids
1. Add prefix- Hydro
2. Find the root of the second element
plus suffix -ic
3. Add “acid” at the end
Example: HBr
1. HBr
a.
b.
c.
d.
Add “Hydro”
Root of bromine: Bromadd suffix: -ic
Add acid at the end
All together…
Hydrobromic Acid
Example 2
Hydrosulfuric Acid
Strong Acid
● An acid that ionizes completely
o
ionizing: break apart into positive and negative ions
● Examples:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Hydrochloric- HCl
Hydrobromic- HBr
Hydroiodic- HI
Perchloric- HClO4
Nitric- HNO3
Sulfuric- H2SO4
