(a)
Interpretation: The correct formula of the inorganic acids needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: An oxyacid can be defined as an acid that contains an oxygen atom which is bonded to a hydrogen and at least one other element.
For oxyanions which ends with “-ate” the nomencleture of the acid done in such that “-ate” is replaced by suffix “- ic ”.
Base name of oxyanion and ic + acid
(a)
Answer to Problem 51A
The correct name is Nitric acid.
Explanation of Solution
There are three oxygen, one hydrogen, and one nitrogen and hence formula of the acid is
(b)

(b)
Answer to Problem 51A
The correct name is Perchloric acid.
Explanation of Solution
There are four oxygen, one hydrogen and one chlorine and hence formula of the acid is
(c)
