Chapter 2, Problem 2.95P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and formula of the acid derived from the anion hydrogen carbonate are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acids are substances that release ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions when mixed with water. Acids are classified as binary and oxoacids. Binary acid solutions are formed by the dissolution of gaseous compounds in water. In binary acids, hydrogen is combined with a second non-metallic element. Examples are $\text{HCl}$, $\text{HBr}$, $\text{HI}$ etc.

Oxoacids are those acids which contain oxygen, at least one hydrogen atom bonded to the oxygen, one other element. Examples are ${\text{HClO}}_4$, ${\text{H}}_2{\text{SO}}_4$, ${\text{HNO}}_3$ etc.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and formula of the acid derived from the anion ${\text{IO}}_4{}^{-}$ are to be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and formula of the acid derived from the anion cyanide are to be determined.

The general formula for naming binary acids is,

$\text{prefix hydro}+\text{non-metal root}+\text{suffix}-ic+\text{acid}$ (1)
