what is an acid?
|
acid is a compound that contains one or moe hydrogen atoms and produces hyrdrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
|
|
|
When naming an acid, what can you consider?
|
When naming an acid, you can consider the acid to consist of an anion combined with as many hydrogen ions as are needed to make the molecule electrically neutral.
|
|
|
What is the first rule for naming an acid? (ide)
|
When the name of the anion (X) ends in -ide, the acid name begins with the prefix hydro-. The stem of the anion has the suffic -ic and is followed by the word acid. Example is hydrocloric acid
|
|
|
What is the second rule in naming an acid? (ite)
|
When the anion name ends in -ite, the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix -ous, followed by the words acid. Thsu H2SO3 is names sulfurous acid.
|
|
|
What is the third rule in naming an acid (ate)?
|
When the anion name ends in -ate, the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix -ic followed by the word acid. Thus HNO3 is named nitric acid.
|
|
|
What is a base?
|
a base is an ionic compound that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
|
|
|
How are bases named?
|
Bases are names the same way as other ionic compounds, the name of the cation is followed by the name of the anion.
|
|
|
What is the procedure for naming bases?
|
Write the cation first, then the anion. Then balance the charges.
|
|
|
What element generally appears in the formula of an acid?
|

|
|
|
What ion generally appears in the formula of a base?
|
Hydroxide
