Give the name and formula for the acid derived from each of the following anions

  1. perchlorate
  2. NO3-
  3. bromite
  4. F-

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The acid derivative of perchlorate is HClO4
  2. The acid derivative of NO3-isHNO3
  3. The acid derivative of bromite is HBrO2
  4. The acid derivative of F- isHF

Step by step solution

01

Acid derivatives

Acids are compounds with donates protons (H+ ions) and bases are the substances which accept protons.

So to find the acid derivative of the base we have to add H+ ions to the base corresponding to their negative charge.

02

Explanation

  1. Perchlorate has a formula ClO4-It has a charge of -1 so add oneH+ to remove the charge. The acid derivative of hydrogen sulfate is HClO4
  2. NO3-has a charge of -1 so it also needs one hydrogen to balance the charge. Acid derivative of NO3-isHNO3
  3. The formula of bromite BrO2- has a charge of -1 so again the addition of one hydrogen will give its acid derivative. The acid derivative of bromite isHBrO2
  4. F-has a charge of -1 so add 1 hydrogen to remove the charge. Acid derivative of F- isHF
