When naming acids such as HCl, HBr, and HI, the prefix "hydro-" is added and the "ine" of the element is replaced with which of the following suffixes before the word "acid" is added?
Select one:
a. "-ic"
b. "-ate"
c. "-ite"
d. "-ide"

Respuesta :

maacastrobr

Answer:

a. "-ic"

Explanation:

The correct answer is a. "-ic".

For example:

  • For HCl, the name is Hydrochloric acid. As you can see, the suffix "-ine" of the element (originally chlorine) is changed to "-ic".

Following the same logic, the name for HBr is Hydrobromic acid; and the name for HI is Hydroiodic acid.
