(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxyacid $\left({\text{HNO}}_{\text{2(aq)}}\right)$ has to be named.

Concept Introduction:

Oxyacids:  Oxyacids are those substances that contain oxygen atoms.

Example:  Nitrous acid, oxalic acid, perchloric acid etc.

The nomenclature of oxyacids is based on the name of the anion from which the acid is derived.  It could be summarized as,

1. 1) If the name of the anion ends in –ite, then the corresponding acid name ends in –ous acid.
2. 2) If the name of the anion ends in –ate, then the corresponding acid name ends in –ic acid.
