1. Naming Acids ACIDS Ionic compounds with unique properties
TOPIC #17
ACIDS
Ionic compounds with unique properties
A compound that contains 1 or more hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water

2. ACIDS
are ionic compounds where the cation is H+ and it is bonded to an anion.
In order to correctly name them we must look at the ending (“Suffix”) of the anion .
For Example:
Sulfide ends in “-ide”
Sulfite ends in “ –ite”
Sulfate ends in “-ate”
Each one has a different rule to name.

3. Rules For Naming Acids ACIDS
If it ends in “ite”, drop the “hydrogen”, and change to __________ous Acid
Example:
H2SO3 = Hydrogen Sulfite
H2SO3 = Sulfurous Acid
3. If it ends in “ate”, drop the “hydrogen”, and change to ____________ic Acid
H2SO4 = Hydrogen Sulfate
H2SO4 = Sulfuric Acid
Rules:
1. If it ends in “ide”, name it as “hydro ________ ic acid”
Example:
H2S = Hydrogen Sulfide
H2S = Hydrosulfuric Acid
ACIDS

4. Write the chemical name for the following formulas, then write the acid name.
1. HPO4
Hydrogen Phosphate
Phosphoric Acid
HClO3
Hydrogen Chlorate
Chloric Acid
3. HCl
Hydrogen Chloride
Hydrochloric Acid
HClO
Hydrogen Hypochlorite
Hypochlorous Acid
