the correct names of the acids hcl and hco₃ are:
- hydrochloric acid and carbonic acid
- hydrogen chloride and hydrooxic acid
- chloric acid and hydrogencarbonate acid
- hydride chloride acid and hydride carbonic oxic acid
Brief Explanations
- For \(HCl\): When naming binary acids (acids with two elements, hydrogen and a non - metal), the prefix "hydro -" is used, followed by the root of the non - metal (chlor for chlorine) and the suffix "-ic acid". So \(HCl\) is hydrochloric acid.
- For \(H_2CO_3\) (assuming it's \(H_2CO_3\) as \(HCO_3\) is a polyatomic ion, but in acid naming context, the acid form is \(H_2CO_3\)): For oxyacids (acids containing hydrogen, oxygen, and another element), when the polyatomic ion ends with "-ate" (the carbonate ion \(CO_3^{2 -}\)), the acid name is formed by taking the root of the polyatomic ion (carbon) and adding the suffix "-ic acid". So \(H_2CO_3\) is carbonic acid.
