1. Naming Acids and Bases
Chapter 9

2. Acids… Contain one or more H+ when dissolved in water
Anion combined with as many H+ as needed to make the molecule neutral
Two types of acids
1. Binary: H + non-metal (HCl)
2. Oxyacid: H + polyatomic ion (H2SO4)

3. Binary Acids Form when certain gaseous compounds dissolve in water
Naming depends on state of acid
HCl(g)  hydrogen chloride
If it is dissolved in water (aq) 
hydro- (nonmetal root) -ic acid
HI(aq) HCl(aq)
H2Se(aq)

4. Oxyacids Naming does NOT depend on the state Name the polyatomic ion
Replace –ate with –ic or…
Replace –ite with -ous
Change non-metal root for pronunciation
Add “acid”
HBrO HIO2
(perbromate) (iodite)

5. Bases Ionic compounds that produce OH- when dissolved in water
Follow same rules for naming ionic compounds
NaOH
Ca(OH)2
Fe(OH)3
