Chapter 2: Problem 75

Give the name or chemical formula, as appropriate, for each of the following acids: $(\mathbf{a}) \mathrm{HBrO}_{3},(\mathbf{b}) \mathrm{HBr},(\mathbf{c}) \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4},(\mathbf{d})$ hypochlorous acid, (e) iodic acid, (f) sulfurous acid.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) Bromic acid, (b) Hydrobromic acid, (c) Phosphoric acid, (d) \(HClO\), (e) \(HIO_3\), (f) \(H_2SO_3\).

Step by step solution

01

(a) Naming HBrO₃

HBrO₃ is an oxyacid containing a hydrogen (H), bromine (Br), and oxygen (O) atoms. The correct name for this acid is "bromic acid."
02

(b) Naming HBr

HBr is a binary acid containing a hydrogen (H) and bromine (Br) atom. The correct name for this acid is "hydrobromic acid."
03

(c) Naming H₃PO₄

H₃PO₄ is an oxyacid containing hydrogen (H), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O) atoms. The correct name for this acid is "phosphoric acid."
04

(d) Chemical Formula of Hypochlorous Acid

Hypochlorous acid is an oxyacid containing hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O) atoms. The chemical formula for hypochlorous acid is HClO.
05

(e) Chemical Formula of Iodic Acid

Iodic acid is an oxyacid containing hydrogen (H), iodine (I), and oxygen (O) atoms. The chemical formula for iodic acid is HIO₃.
06

(f) Chemical Formula of Sulfurous Acid

Sulfurous acid is an oxyacid containing hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O) atoms. The chemical formula for sulfurous acid is H₂SO₃.
