Chapter 10, Problem 10.2P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound ${\text{NaCH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{COO}}_{\left(\text{s}\right)}$ has to be given.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound ${\text{Ca(ClO}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2(s)}}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

If a nonmetal can form four possible anions with oxygen, then the prefix per- and the suffix –ate are attached to the ion with the greatest number of oxygen atoms.

Example, oxychloro anions (because they comprises of chlorine and different number of oxygen atoms).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound ${\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3(s)}}$ has to be given.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound ${\text{Ba(NO}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2(s)}}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

If a nonmetal forms two possible anions with oxygen, the one with the fewer number of oxygen atoms has the suffix –ite and the greater number of oxygen atoms has the suffix –ate attached to the root of the nonmetal’s name.
