Naming Polyatomic Ions

1. Naming Polyatomic Ions • Didn’t you say we had to memorize these? • Lets look at the polyatomic ions and how they differ!!!

3. Acids • Acids are molecular compounds that form H+ when dissolved in water • Sour taste • Dissolve many metals • Like Zn, Fe, Mg, but not Au, Ag, Pt. • Formula generally starts with H • E.g., HCl, H2SO4.

4. Acids, Continued • Contain H+1cation and anion • In aqueous solution • Binary acids have H+1and nonmetal • Oxyacids have H+1and polyatomic

5. Naming Binary Acids • Write a hydro- prefix. • Follow with the nonmetal name. • Change ending on nonmetal name to –ic. • Write the word acid at the end of the name.

6. Let’s try a Few • HBr • HF • HI

7. Naming Oxyacids

8. Practice─Name the Following • H2S • HClO3 • HNO2

9. Writing Formulas for Acids • When name ends in acid, formulas starts with H. • Hydro- prefix means it is binary acid, no prefix means it is an oxyacid. • For an oxyacid, if ending is –ic, polyatomic ion ends in –ate; if ending is –ous, polyatomic ion ends in –ous.

10. Practice—What Are the Formulas for the Following Acids? • Chloricacid • Phosphoric acid • Hydrobromic acid

11. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 5

12. Lets Try a Few!! • Potassium Chloride • Aluminum Oxide • Potassium Sulfide • Magnesium Hydroxide

13. Lets Try A few • HNO3 • H2SO4 • H2SO3

14. Formula Mass • The mass of an individual molecule or formula unit • Also known as molecular mass or molecular weight • Sum of the masses of the atoms in a single molecule or formula unit • Whole = Sum of the parts. Mass of 1 molecule of H2O = 2(1.01 amu H) + 16.00 amu O = 18.02 amu.

15. Practice—Calculate the Formula Mass of Al2(SO4)3.
