Step1: Naming Binary Acids
Binary acids have the general formula \( HX \) (where \( X \) is a non - oxygen element) and are named as "hydro - [root of non - oxygen element] - ic acid".
- For \( HCl(aq) \), the non - oxygen element is chlorine (\( Cl \)). The root is "chlor", so it is hydrochloric acid.
- For \( H_2S(aq) \), the non - oxygen element is sulfur (\( S \)). The root is "sulfur", so it is hydrosulfuric acid.
- For \( HBr(aq) \), the non - oxygen element is bromine (\( Br \)). The root is "brom", so it is hydrobromic acid.
- For hydroiodic acid, the non - oxygen element is iodine (\( I \)). The formula is \( HI(aq) \) (not \( H_3P(aq) \) as wrongly written in the original).
- For hydrophosphoric acid, the non - oxygen element is phosphorus (\( P \)). The formula is \( H_3P(aq) \).
Step2: Naming Oxyacids
Oxyacids have the general formula \( H_aX_bO_c \) (where \( X \) is the central non - oxygen element).
- For \( HNO_3 \), nitrogen (\( N \)) is the central element. It is nitric acid.
- For \( HNO_2 \), nitrogen (\( N \)) is the central element. It is nitrous acid.
- For \( H_2SO_4 \), sulfur (\( S \)) is the central element. It is sulfuric acid.
- For \( H_2SO_3 \), sulfur (\( S \)) is the central element. It is sulfurous acid.
- For \( H_3PO_4 \), phosphorus (\( P \)) is the central element. It is phosphoric acid (not carbonic acid as wrongly written in the original).
- For \( H_2CO_3 \), carbon (\( C \)) is the central element. It is carbonic acid (not hypochlorous acid as wrongly written in the original).
- For \( HClO \), chlorine (\( Cl \)) is the central element. It is hypochlorous acid (not chlorous acid as wrongly written in the original). Chlorous acid has the formula \( HClO_2 \).
