Question

give the acid name and the acid formula for each of the anions below. nitrate sulfate perchlorate anion name anion formula no₃⁻ so₄²⁻ clo₄⁻ acid name acid formula

Explanation:

Step1: For nitrate ($NO_3^-$)

Add a hydrogen ion ($H^+$) to form the acid. The acid name is nitric acid and the formula is $HNO_3$.

Step2: For sulfate ($SO_4^{2 -}$)

Since the charge is - 2, we need 2 hydrogen ions ($H^+$) to form the acid. The acid name is sulfuric acid and the formula is $H_2SO_4$.

Step3: For perchlorate ($ClO_4^-$)

Add a hydrogen ion ($H^+$) to form the acid. The acid name is perchloric acid and the formula is $HClO_4$.

Answer:

Anion Name	Anion Formula	Acid Name	Acid Formula
sulfate	$SO_4^{2 -}$	sulfuric acid	$H_2SO_4$
perchlorate	$ClO_4^-$	perchloric acid	$HClO_4$
