Chapter 3: Problem 66

Supply the formula for the acids: (a) hydrofluoric acid; (b) nitric acid; (c) phosphorous acid; (d) sulfuric acid.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) Hydrofluoric acid: \(\text{HF}\), (b) Nitric acid: \(\text{HNO}_3\), (c) Phosphorous acid: \(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\), (d) Sulfuric acid: \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)

Step by step solution

01

Hydrofluoric acid

The chemical formula for Hydrofluoric acid is \(\text{HF}\) where H stands for Hydrogen and F for Fluorine
02

Nitric acid

The chemical formula for Nitric acid is \(\text{HNO}_3\) where H stands for Hydrogen, N for Nitrogen and O for Oxygen
03

Phosphorous acid

The chemical formula for Phosphorous acid is \(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_3\) where H stands for Hydrogen, P for Phosphorus and O for Oxygen
04

Sulfuric acid

The chemical formula for Sulfuric acid is \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) where H stands for Hydrogen, S for Sulfur and O for Oxygen
