Writing Acid Formulas – in reverse!
• Hydrogen will be listed first
• The name will tell you the anion
• Be sure the charges cancel out.
• Starts with prefix hydro?- there is
no oxygen, -ide ending for anion
• no prefix hydro?
1) -ate anion comes from –ic ending
2) -ite anion comes from –ous ending
Write formulas for these:
hydroiodic acid
acetic acid
carbonic acid
phosphorous acid
hydrobromic acid
Names and Formulas for Bases
A base is an ionic compound that
produces hydroxide ions (OH1-)
when dissolved in water (the Arrhenius definition)
