Sulfurous acid: sulfite, (SO3)-2
Chlorous acid: chlorite, (ClO2)-

The chlorous acid chemical formula is HClO2.
Formula: HClO2
chlorous acid
Chlorous acid has the chemical formula HClO2. It is a weak acid that is formed when chlorine dioxide dissolves in water.
The anion for chlorous acid is chlorite, which has the chemical formula ClO₂⁻. Chlorous acid itself is represented as HClO₂, and when it donates a proton (H⁺), it forms the chlorite ion.
The endings of acid names often correlate with the endings of the names of their corresponding ions. For example, acids that contain a sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻) are called sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), while those with a sulfite ion (SO₃²⁻) are named sulfurous acid (H₂SO₃). Generally, acids that end in "-ic" correspond to anions that end in "-ate," whereas acids that end in "-ous" correspond to anions that end in "-ite." This naming convention helps to identify the relationship between acids and their related ions.
HClO2 This ternary acid is formed by the polyatomic ion chrlorite, ClO2, in water.
