  • 2. 

    Name the following compound:NH3

    • Ammonia

    • Ammonium

    Correct Answer
    A. Ammonia
    Explanation
    Ammonia is the correct answer because NH3 is the chemical formula for ammonia. Ammonia is a colorless gas with a pungent smell, and it is composed of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. It is commonly used as a cleaning agent, as a refrigerant, and in the production of fertilizers and explosives.

    Name the Formula for the compound:phosphoric acid

    • H2PO4

    • H3PO4

    • H2PO3

    Correct Answer
    A. H3PO4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is H3PO4 because phosphoric acid is a triprotic acid, meaning it can donate three protons (H+ ions). The formula H3PO4 indicates that there are three hydrogen atoms bonded to one phosphorus atom, which is consistent with the structure of phosphoric acid.

  • 4. 

    Name the Formula for the compound:Nitric Acid

    • HNO3

    • H2NO3

    • HNO4

    Correct Answer
    A. HNO3
    Explanation
    Nitric acid is a compound composed of hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O). The correct formula for nitric acid is HNO3, which indicates that it contains one hydrogen atom, one nitrogen atom, and three oxygen atoms. The formula H2NO3 and HNO4 are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the composition of nitric acid.

  • 5. 

    Name the Formula for the compound:Chloric Acid

    • H2CLO3

    • HCLO2

    • HCLO3

    Correct Answer
    A. HCLO3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is HCLO3. Chloric acid is a compound that is formed by combining hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O). The formula HCLO3 represents chloric acid, where the hydrogen atom is bonded to the chlorine atom, which is further bonded to three oxygen atoms. This formula accurately represents the composition of chloric acid.

  • 6. 

    Name the following compound:CN

    • Carbon Nitride

    • Cyanide

    • Carbon Mononitride

    Correct Answer
    A. Cyanide
    Explanation
    The compound CN is named cyanide. Cyanide is a chemical compound consisting of a carbon atom bonded to a nitrogen atom. It is commonly found in various forms and is known for its toxic properties. The name "cyanide" is derived from the Greek word "kyanos," meaning dark blue, which refers to the color of some cyanide compounds. Cyanide is widely used in industrial processes, such as gold mining and electroplating, as well as in chemical synthesis and as a poison.

    Name the Formula for the compound:Perchloric Acid

    • H2CLO4

    • HCLO3

    • HCLO4

    Correct Answer
    A. HCLO4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is HCLO4. Perchloric acid is a strong acid with the formula HCLO4. It is composed of hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O). The presence of the chlorine atom and the oxidation state of +7 for the chlorine ion indicate that the compound is perchloric acid.

  • 8. 

    Name the Formula for the compound:Acetic Acid

    • H2C2H3O2

    • HC2H3O2

    • C2H3O2

    Correct Answer
    A. HC2H3O2
    Explanation
    this acid also has a different formula:
    CH3COOH
    but the above is more commonly used.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Name the Formula for the compound:Sulfuric Acid

    • H2SO3

    • H2SO4

    • HSO4

    Correct Answer
    A. H2SO4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is H2SO4. Sulfuric acid is a strong and highly corrosive acid that is commonly used in various industrial processes. Its chemical formula is H2SO4, which indicates that it consists of two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms. The presence of two hydrogen atoms in the formula suggests that sulfuric acid is a diprotic acid, meaning it can donate two hydrogen ions (H+) in solution.

    Name the Formula for the compound:Carbonic Acid

    • H2CO3

    • HCO3

    • H2CO4

    Correct Answer
    A. H2CO3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is H2CO3, which is the formula for carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is a weak acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. It is commonly found in carbonated drinks and plays a role in regulating the pH of the blood.

    Name the Formula for the compound:Bicarbonate

    • HCO4

    • HCO3

    • H2CO3

    Correct Answer
    A. HCO3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is HCO3. Bicarbonate is a polyatomic ion with the chemical formula HCO3-. It consists of one hydrogen atom (H), one carbon atom (C), and three oxygen atoms (O). Bicarbonate is commonly found in many substances, such as baking soda, and is also an important component in the human body's acid-base balance.

    Name the following compound:H2PO4

    • Dihydrogen Phospate

    • Phosphoric Acid

    • Hydrogen Phosphide

    Correct Answer
    A. Dihydrogen Phospate
    Explanation
    The compound H2PO4 is named dihydrogen phosphate because it contains two hydrogen atoms (di- means two) and one phosphate group (PO4). The phosphate group consists of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Therefore, the correct name for this compound is dihydrogen phosphate.
