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 \(H_{2}CO_{3}\) (assuming it's a typo and you mean \(H_{2}CO_{3}\) as \(HCO_{3}^{-}\) is a bicarbonate ion, not an acid. The acid form is \(H_{2}CO_{3}\)): For oxy - acids (acids with hydrogen, oxygen, and another element), the name is based on the polyatomic ion. The \(CO_{3}^{2 -}\) is carbonate ion. The acid \(H_{2}CO_{3}\) is named carbonic acid (using the root of the polyatomic ion “carbon” and the suffix “-ic acid” for the common form of the acid).
