Yes and Ni.

The Halogen acids , e.g., Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) does NOT contain oxygen.

However, Other mineral acids (e.g. Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) do contain oxygen.

In modern chemistry we known that the acid component is the 'H%(+)' cation.

However, the ancients did not.

The word 'oxygen' means 'acid maker/generator'.
