1. Naming
Acids & Bases

2. Naming Binary Acids HF = ? HCl = ? H2S = ? + hydro stem of non-metal +
ic acid
HF = ?
HCl = ?
H2S = ?
hydrofluoric acid
hydrochloric acid
hydrosulfic acid

3. Naming Ternary Acids
acid name derived from name of polyatomic anion (see Table E)
“I ate something icky but it’s al-rite
‘cause it was delicious!”

4. HNO2 Table E: NO2 -1 is nitrite ion replace –ite with –ous , add acid
HNO2 becomes nitrous acid

5. HNO3 Table E: NO3 -1 is nitrate ion replace –ate with –ic , add acid
HNO3 becomes nitric acid

6. Ternary Acids polyatomics with S and P, make stem long again
H3PO4 = phosphoric acid, not phosphic acid
H2SO4 = sulfuric acid, not sulfic acid
H2SO3 = sulfurous acid, not sulfous acid
SEE TABLE K

7. Naming Bases name the metal NaOH = ? Ca(OH)2 = ? Mg(OH)2 = ? add
hydroxide
sodium hydroxide
calcium hydroxide
magnesium hydroxide
