What are Examples of binary and ternary acids with names?

Answer 1

If the compound does not contain Oxygen:

hyro__(name of element)__ic

If it does contain Oxygen:

Ending is -ate changes to -ic

Ending is -ite changes to -ous

Answer 2

Ternary Acid Compounds

The compounds which are considered to be a ternary acid have both a hydrogen first in the formula and a polyatomic ion.

HxXmOn

The format for the name of this kind of compound is two words:

First word: derived from the name of the polyatomic ion which includes the stem of X with either an -ous or an -ic suffix. The prefix per- or hypo- may also be a part of this first word and depends on the ON of X,

and is followed by the word acid.

HIO3

iodic acid

The word hydrogen and the prefix hydro- are never used in naming ternary compounds. There is a periodic trend for the formulas of these acids.

Answer 3

Binary acids: hydrogen + nonmetal; hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydroiodic acid (HI), hydrofluoric acid (HF), hydrobromic acid (HBr), etc.

Ternary acids (oxoacids): hydrogen + oxygen + nonmetal; sulphuric acid (H2SO4), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), nitric acid (HNO3), perchloric acid (HClO4), etc.

Answer 4

I. IDENTIFYING THE ANION In order to name an acid, first remove the Hydrogen(s) (H) from the formula. Remember that all acid formulas are in the format H+ + Anion (Cation+ Anion). Anions will either end with the suffix "-ide", "-ite", or "-ate" (monatomic anions only end with "-ide", whereas polyatomic anions will end with any of those suffixes).

After removing all hydrogen atoms from the formula, now there is only the anion left. Identify the anion.

II. NAME THE ACID (Prefix [if applicable] + root + suffix)

The steps above were taken to identify the anion. Now that the anion has been identified, we can adjust the name of the anion to identify the acid's name.

- If the anion ends with the suffix "-ide", drop the "-ide" and add "-ic acid". Anions that end with the suffix "-ide" must have started with the prefix "hydro-". Add the prefix "hydro-" in front of the name.

- If the anion ends with the suffix "-ate", drop the suffix and add "-ic acid". Beware if there's Sulfur (S) or Phosphorus (P) in the anion, as they have stem changes; add the suffix "-ur" before the ending with S, and "-or" before the ending with P.

-If the anion ends with the suffix "-ite", drop the "-ite" and add "-ous acid"; add the suffix "-ur" or "-or" if there is S or P respectively before the ending.

Now for some examples.

Ex. Name HCl

H+ + Cl-

1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.

Result: Cl-, Chloride

2. Name the acid (remove the suffix, add appropriate ending and prefix [if applicable]).

Chloride --> Chlor --> Chloric acid --> Hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

Ex. Name HNO3

H+ + NO3-

1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.

Result: NO3-, Nitrate

2. Name the acid (remove "-ate", add "-ic acid").

Nitrate --> Nit --> Nitric acid

Nitric acid (HNO3)

Ex. Name H3PO4

H+ + PO4-3

1. Remove the hydrogen atoms; identify the remaining anion.

Result: PO4-3, Phosphate

2. Name the acid (remove "-ate", add "-oric acid" to ending).

Phosphate --> Phosph --> Phosphoric acid

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)

Ex. Name HNO2

H+ + NO2-

1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.

Result: NO2-, Nitrite

2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-ous acid" to ending).

Nitrite --> Nit --> Nitrous acid

Nitrous Acid (HNO2)

Ex. Name H2SO3

H+ + SO3-2

1. Remove the hydrogen atom; identify the remaining anion.

Result: SO3-2, Sulfite

2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-urous acid" to ending).

Sulfite --> Sul --> Sulfurous acid

Sulfurous acid (H2SO3)

Ex. Name H3PO3

H+ + PO3-3

1. Remove the hydrogen atoms; identify the remaining anion.

Result: Phosphite, PO3-3

2. Name the acid (remove "-ite", add "-orous acid" to ending).

Phosphite --> Phosph --> Phosphorous acid

Phosphorous acid (H3PO3)
