Chapter 6, Problem 17ST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound among $\text{HCl}\left(aq\right)$, ${\text{HClO}}_3\left(aq\right)$, and ${\text{HClO}}_2\left(aq\right)$ that is named as $nonmetalstem+-ousacid$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Ternary ionic compounds contain hydrogen and two other elements. The ternary oxyacids are named as the non-metal stem with the suffix $-icacid$ such as nitric acid, ${\text{HNO}}_3\left(aq\right)$ or $-ousacid$ such as nitrous acid, ${\text{HNO}}_2\left(aq\right)$.
