Do the names of a binary acid begin with the prefix bi?
The names of binary acids do not begin with bi. The names of binary acids being with the "hydro" prefix, then the root of the nonmetal element, then they end with "ic".
Is hydro iodide and acid or base?
hydrogen iodide (HI) is one of the strongest acids
What is the chemical compound for hydrobromic acid?
Hydrobromic Acid is HBr. Diatomic acids are typically hydrogen combined with a halogen. For nominal purposes, it's usually the prefix "hydro-" with the root of the halogen, but instead of having "-ine" at the end you have "-ic." HBr -> Hydrobromic acid HCl -> Hydrochloric acid HI -> Hydroiodic acid
When the acid name begins with a hydro and end with and -ic what does that indicate about the chemical formula of the acid?
The "hydro" part indicates there's hydrogen in it, but not all hydrogen-containing acids start with hydro...sulfuric acid contains more hydrogen than either hydrochloric or hydrofluoric. "-ic" is pretty common for acids...hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic...
What does the prefix hydro- tell us about an acid?
That it contains hydrogen. If we're using the Arrhenius or Bronsted-Lowry definition of "acid", we already knew that from the word "acid", though.

How do you derive an acid's formula from its name?
An acid is any compound that contains a H+ (hydrogen) ion. All acids' formulas begin with H (hydrogen) and all acids are named based on their anions (remember that compound names and formulas are in the format cation + anion).To obtain the formula of an acid when given the name, follow these steps accordingly. The following steps involves removing prefixes and suffixes, resulting in identifying the name of the anion.I. IDENTIFYING THE ANIONIf the prefix "hydro-" is present:1. Drop the prefix "hydro-" and "-ic acid".2. Replace "-ic acid" with the suffix "-ide"Now if the prefix "hydro" is not present, look at the end of the name.If the name ends with "-ic acid":1. Drop "-ic acid".2. Replace "-ic acid" with the suffix "-ate".If the name ends with "-ous acid":1. Drop "-ous acid".2. Replace "-ous acid" with "-ite".II. IDENTIFYING THE FORMULAAs stated earlier, the steps listed above were to identify the name of the anion. Now that the anion has been identified, we can give the formula. Remember how acids have H+ ions and a compound? Given that statement, it can be said that all acids have the following formula format:H+ + Anion Compound (Cation + Anion)When writing the equation, write the formula and charge for both the hydrogen ion (cation) and the anion in the format given above. When writing the actual formula, add the number of H atoms according to the charge of the anion. Keep in mind that in the formula, the charges of all atoms must equal to zero.ex. Hydrocyanic acid (prefix "hydro-" is present, ends with "-ic acid")1. Drop "hydro-" and "-ic acid".Cyan2. Replace "-ic acid" with the suffix "-ide"Result: Cyanide, CN-3. Write the equation.H+ + CN-4. Since there is a -1 charge on cyanide, the formula is written as: HCNHydrocyanic acid: HCNex. Boric acid (prefix "hydro-" is absent, ends with "-ic acid").1. Drop "-ic acid".Bor2. Replace "-ic acid" with the suffix "-ate".Result: Borate, BO3-33. Write the equation.H+ + BO3-34. Since the charge of borate is -3, the formula is written as: H3BO3Boric Acid: H3BO3Ex. Chlorous acid (prefix "hydro-" is absent, ends with "-ous acid")1. Drop "-ous acid".Chlor2. Replace "-ous acid" with "-ite".Result: Chlorite, ClO2-13. Write the equation.H+ + ClO2-4. Since the charge of chlorite is -1, the formula is written as: HClO2.Chlorous acid: HClO2To summarize:Acid formula format: H+ + Anion Compound (Cation + Anion)1. Identify anion by removing the prefix (if applicable) and changing the suffix accordingly.2. Identify the formula by writing the equation and determining number of hydrogen atoms in the acid per the anion's charge.
How do you naming binary?
Shorten hydrogen to hydro, then use the other non-metal name then add ic eg Hydrogen chloride - hydrochloric acid
Other name for HCl?
Bleach (ilove2dance)Hydrochlorous acid does not exist. The -ous naming suffix is only used for anions that end in -ite, like the hypochlorite ion. However, an acid with that ion would be named hypochlorous acid. Hydro is only used as a prefix if the anion is not an oxoanion, one that contains oxygen. Hydrochlorous acid does not exist.
What would an acid of platoate be named?
Platoic Acid When naming acids that have a (fictional, in this case) polyatomic ion that ends in -ate, drop that ending and change it to -ic. For example, an acid with the nitrate ion becomes nitric acid.
Why is oxygen resoning of naming?
The English word "oxygen" comes from Latin and means something like "acid former", because a lot of acids do contain oxygen.
What is the acid contained in batteries?
Hydro chloric acid
Whether monochloro acid is a strong acid or weak?
'Monochloro acid' is not a correct compound name.(In other combinations the prefix 'monochloro-' is possible but not specially to acids, eg. monochlorobenzene)Here are the possible 'Chloro' acids (increasing oxidation state: -1, +1, 3, 5, 7) of which 2. and 3. are weak acids, the others are strong.HCl , hydrochloric acid, strongHClO , hypochlorous acid, weak, pKa = 7.49HClO2 , chlorous acid, weak, pKa = 1.96HClO3 , chloric acid, strongHClO4 , perchloric acid, strong
