Question

question 2 (1 point) listen the correct names of the acids hcl and hbr are: 1) hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid 2) hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide 3) hydride chloride acid and hydride bromide acid 4) none of the above

Explanation:

To name binary acids (acids composed of hydrogen and a non - metal), the prefix "hydro - " is used, followed by the root name of the non - metal (with the ending changed to " - ic") and then the word "acid". For HCl, the non - metal is chlorine (Cl), so the root is "chlor" and the acid name is Hydrochloric acid. For HBr, the non - metal is bromine (Br), the root is "brom" and the acid name is Hydrobromic acid. Option 2 gives the names of the gaseous compounds, not the acids. Option 3 has incorrect naming conventions.

Answer:

1. Hydrochloric acid and Hydrobromic acid
