Short Answer

Expert verified
a. Iron(III) chloride b. Nitrogen dioxide c. Calcium oxide d. Aluminum sulfide e. Magnesium acetate f. Iron(III) phosphate g. Diphosphorus pentasulfide h. Sodium peroxide i. Nitric acid j. Hydrogen sulfide

Step by step solution

01

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Iron(III) chloride as there are three chloride ions connected to one Iron ion. The original name did not indicate the oxidation state of Iron. b. \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\), nitrogen(IV) oxide
02

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Nitrogen dioxide. The original name had the incorrect oxidation state of nitrogen. c. \(\mathrm{CaO}\), calcium(II) monoxide
03

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Calcium oxide. The original name included unnecessary oxidation state and the prefix "mono." d. \(\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{3}\), dialuminum trisulfide
04

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Aluminum sulfide. The original name used prefixes "di" and "tri," which are unnecessary in this case. e. \(\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)_{2}\), manganese diacetate
05

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Magnesium acetate. The original name mistakenly used "manganese" instead of "magnesium." f. \(\mathrm{FePO}_{4}\), iron(II) phosphide
06

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Iron(III) phosphate. The original name had the incorrect oxidation state of iron and called it phosphide instead of phosphate. g. \(\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{5}\), phosphorus sulfide
07

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Diphosphorus pentasulfide. The original name missed the prefixes "di" and "penta." h. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), sodium oxide
08

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Sodium peroxide. The original name did not acknowledge the peroxide group in the compound. i. \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\), nitrate acid
09

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Nitric acid. The original name incorrectly called it "nitrate acid." j. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\), sulfuric acid
10

Name the compound correctly

The correct name for this compound is Hydrogen sulfide. The original name used the wrong name "sulfuric acid."
