ACIDS

    So today we learned about naming acids, acids are formed when a compound composed of HYDROGEN ions and a negatively charged ion are dissolved in water { Aqueous (aq) }. We also learned about the guidelines, like use "hydro" as the beginning; last syllable of the non metal is dropped and replaced with "-ic"; add "acid" at the end, so its basically like ____ide -----> hydro____ acid



We also learned about naming complex acids, its like we replace -ate with -ic, and -ite with -ous.

Ex. HC1(aq) + H20(l) -----> H30 (aq) + C1(aq)
