(a)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HCl is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is a binary hydrogen acid. Its name starts with ‘hydro’ and ends in ‘ic’ replacing the suffix ‘ide’ of the anion.
(a)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Hydrochloric acid.
Explanation of Solution
The anion is chloride. Starting with Hydrogen and replacing ‘ide’ of the chloride to ‘ic’ the name becomes Hydrochloric acid.
(b)
Interpretation: The name of the acid H2SO4 is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is an oxo-acid of sulfur in which along with sulfur and hydrogen, oxygen is present. Identify the anion present in the acid. If it ends in ‘ate’, change it to ‘ic’ acid and if it ends in ‘ide’ change it to ‘ous’ acid.
(b)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Sulfuric acid.
Explanation of Solution
Anion present here is a sulfate. Changing its suffix to ‘ic’ acid, the name becomes sulfuric acid.
(c)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HNO3 is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is an oxo-acid of nitrogen in which along with nitrogen and hydrogen, oxygen is present. Identify the anion present in the acid. If it ends in ‘ate’, change it to ‘ic’ acid and if it ends in ‘ide’ change it to ‘ous’ acid.
(c)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Nitric acid.
Explanation of Solution
Anion present here is Nitrate. Changing its suffix to ‘ic’ acid, the name becomes Nitric acid.
(d)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HI is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is a binary hydrogen acid. Its name starts with ‘hydro’ and ends in ‘ic’ replacing the suffix ‘ide’ of the anion.
(d)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Hydroiodic acid.
Explanation of Solution
The anion is iodide. Starting with Hydrogen and replacing ‘ide’ of the chloride to ‘ic’ the name becomes Hydroiodic acid.
(e)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HNO2 is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is an oxo-acid of nitrogen in which along with nitrogen and hydrogen, oxygen is present. Identify the anion present in the acid. If it ends in ‘ate’, change it to ‘ic’ acid and if it ends in ‘ide’ change it to ‘ous’ acid.
(e)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Nitrous acid.
Explanation of Solution
Anion present here is Nitrate. Changing its suffix to ‘ous’ acid, the name becomes Nitrous acid.
(f)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HClO3 is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is an oxo-acid of Chlorine in which along with Chlorine and hydrogen, oxygen is present. Identify the anion present in the acid. If it ends in ‘ate’, change it to ‘ic’ acid and if it ends in ‘ide’ change it to ‘ous’ acid.
(f)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Chloric acid.
Explanation of Solution
Anion present here is Chloride. Changing its suffix to ‘ic’ acid, the name becomes Chloric acid.
(g)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HBr is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is a binary hydrogen acid. Its name starts with ‘hydro’ and ends in ‘ic’ replacing the suffix ‘ide’ of the anion.
(g)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Hydrobromic acid.
Explanation of Solution
The anion is bromide. Starting with Hydrogen and replacing ‘ide’ of the chloride to ‘ic’ the name becomes Hydrobromic acid.
(h)
Interpretation: The name of the acid HF is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is a binary hydrogen acid. Its name starts with ‘hydro’ and ends in ‘ic’ replacing the suffix ‘ide’ of the anion.
(h)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation of Solution
The anion is fluoride. Starting with Hydrogen and replacing ‘ide’ of the chloride to ‘ic’ the name becomes Hydrofluoric acid.
(i)
Interpretation: The name of the acid CH3CH2OH is to be given.
Concept Introduction: The acid is a carboxylic acid due to the presence of −COOH group. It ends in ‘oic’ acid by replacing ‘e’ of the parent chain. The name of the parent chain depends on the number of carbons present in it.
(i)
Answer to Problem 24A
The name of the acid is Ethanoic acid.
Explanation of Solution
There are two carbons in its chemical formula. So the parent chain is Ethane. Replacing ‘e’ with ‘oic’ acid name becomes ethanoic acid.
