Naming Acids

1
Naming Acids

• Chemistry 11
• Mrs. Kay

2
Acids

• When these compounds dissolve in water they
  produce hydrogen ions.
• The concentration of hydrogen ions produced is
  related to its molarity (simple ratios)
• HCl ? H Cl-
• 2M 2M 2M
• pH of acids is directly related to the amount of
  dissociation of the hydrogen.

3
Binary Acids (made of 2 elements only)

• Prefix is always hydro
• Name the second element with the suffix? ic
• Example HCl hydrochloric acid

4
Practice
HBr
Hydrofluoric acid
HI
5
Strong Acids

• These acids dissociate 100 in water, which makes
  them different from other weaker acids (has to do
  with pH, not concentration)
• You need to memorize them
• Sulfuric acid, H2SO4
• Nitric acid, HNO3
• Hydrochloric acid, HCl
• Hydroiodic acid, HI
• Hydrobromic acid, HBr
• Perchloric acid, HClO4
• dissociation HNO3 ? H NO3-

6
Tertiary acids (made up of 3 elements)

• H -ate polyatomic ion If the acid has an -ate
  polyatomic ion after the H, that makes it an -ic
  acid. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid.
• H -ite polyatomic ion When the acid has an
  -ite polyatomic ion after the H, that makes it an
  -ous acid. H2SO3 is sulfurous acid.
