Naming Binary Acids
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A binary acid, hydrogen dissolved in water with one other nonmetal, is named hydro- plus the nonmetal's root plus -ic acid.
Show
Hydrogen chloride gas, HCl, dissolved in water is named hydrochloric acid, following the hydro- plus -ic acid pattern exactly.
Watch for
"Hydro-" applies only to the acid in water — the same gas HCl by itself stays named hydrogen chloride.
