Chapter 2.8, Problem 2.13AFP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula and name for the anion of chloric acid 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.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula and name for the anion of hydrofluoric acid are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

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.

(c)
