This guide provides a comprehensive overview of acid nomenclature and recognition in chemistry. Acids can be identified by their formulas, starting with ‘H’ or ending with ‘COOH’. Naming conventions include recognizing the negative ion suffixes: if it ends in “-ide”, use “hydro-----ic” (e.g., hydrochloric acid, HCl); if “-ate”, use “------ic” (e.g., nitric acid, HNO3); and if “-ite”, use “------ous” (e.g., sulfuous acid, H2SO3). Learn the essential rules for naming acids and become proficient in acid recognition.

Recognizing Acids • Acids can be recognized from their formula: • An acid’s formula either • starts with H or • ends with COOH
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ide,” the acid is named as a “hydro ------ ic” acid. • Examples are hydrochloric acid, HCl, and hydrocyanic acid, HCN.
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ate”, the acid is named as a “------- ic” acid. • Examples are nitric acid, HNO3, and sulphuric acid, H2SO4.
Naming Acids • If the negative ion ends in “-ite,” the acid is named as a “------ ous” acid. • Examples are sulphurous acid, H2SO3, and nitrous acid, HNO2.
