How can you tell if a formula is a base?

A formula is considered a base if it contains a hydroxide group (OH) or ends with "-OH". Bases typically release hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution, leading to an increase in the concentration of hydroxide ions.


How would you identify an acid from its name or formula?

DERIVING ACID'S NAME FROM FORMULAIn order to name an acid when given the formula, follow these steps:1. Identify the anion. This can be done by removing or separating the hydrogen(s) from the anion via writing out the equation. The number of hydrogens is = to the anion's charge.HX --> H+ + XORH+ + Anion (Cation + Anion)2. Name the acid. It is highly recommended to remember various polyatomic ions and such for this step. Since acids are named based on the anion, follow the guidelines below:Anion ends with "-ide": place the prefix "hydro-" in front of the element name. Replace "-ide" with "-ic acid".Hydro-element name-ic acidAnion ends with "-ate": replace "-ate" with "-ic acid".Element name-ic acidAnion ends with "-ite": replace "-ide" with "-ous acid".Element name-ous acid**NOTE: If the anion involves sulfur or phosphorus, changes to the stem name will be made. Add "-ur" to the stem name if there is sulfur, or "-or" if there is phosphorus.**SulfurAnion ends with "-ide": hydro-element name-uric acidAnion ends with "-ate": element name-uric acidAnion ends with "-ite": element name-urous acidPhosphorusAnion ends with "-ide": hydro-element name-oric acidAnion ends with "-ate": element name-oric acidAnion ends with "-ite": element name-orous acidDERIVING FORMULA FROM ACID NAMEIn order to identify the formula from the acid's name, follow these steps:1. Identify the anion. This can be done by adjusting the name via removal of suffixes and prefixes (if applicable).Anion starts with "hydro-", ends with "-ic acid": drop prefix and replace "-ic acid" with "ide.Element name-ideAnion ends with "-ic acid": replace "-ic acid" with "-ate".Element name-ateAnion ends with -ous acid": replace "-ous acid" with "-ite".Element name-ite**NOTE: If there is sulfur or phosphorus in the anion, also remove the "-ur" (sulfur) or the "-or" (phosphorus) in the ending when identifying the anion.2. Identify the formula. Now that the anion has been identified, we can create the formula. Add cation H+ to the equation (the number of hydrogens is equal to the anion's charge). It is recommended to remember various polyatomic ions for this step.Cation + AnionH+ + AnionORH+ + X-n--> HX
