No. The haloacids (hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and hydriodic acids) are strong acids that lack oxygen. They have the formulas HCl, HBr, and HI respectively.

An example of a strong acid, at about pH 2 would be Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) which is made up of one atom of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine. HCl is a binary (2 atoms) acid (another example would be Hydrosulfuric Acid - H2S) all of which are oxygen-free; however, ternary (3 atoms) acids do contain oxygen. Examples would include Nitric Acid - HNO3 and Chlorous Acid - HClO2 where the O represents oxygen.

Why do some acids not contain oxygen?

Some acids do not contain oxygen because the acidic properties are due to the presence of hydrogen ions. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid but does not contain oxygen. Acids can also be defined based on their ability to donate protons, regardless of the presence of oxygen.

Do all strong acids contain hydroxide ions?

No, strong acids do not contain hydroxide ions. Strong acids are substances that completely dissociate in water to produce hydronium ions (H3O+) and anions. Hydroxide ions (OH-) are found in strong bases, not strong acids.

Is it true that all acid contain oxygen.explain your answer?

No, not all acids contain oxygen. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Some acids, like hydrochloric acid (HCl), do not contain oxygen. Examples of oxygen-containing acids include sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3).


Does any acid contain oxygen?

Oh yes, there are acids that contain oxygen, for example, nitric acid, HNO3.


Is it true that all acids contain oxygen?

No, not all acids contain oxygen. Acids are substances that when dissolved in water, increase the concentration of hydrogen ions. Some common acids without oxygen are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).


Why does every acid contain oxygen?
