Ternary Or Oxy-acids And Acetic Acid
This quiz helps people learning some Chemistry basics memorize Some acid compound formulas.
- 1.
Name the Formula for the compound:Sulfuric Acid
- A.
H2SO3
- B.
H2SO4
- C.
HSO4
Correct Answer
B. H2SO4Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:Carbonic Acid
- A.
H2CO3
- B.
HCO3
- C.
H2CO4
Correct Answer
A. H2CO3Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:phosphoric acid
- A.
H2PO4
- B.
H3PO4
- C.
H2PO3
Correct Answer
B. H3PO4Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:Chloric Acid
- A.
H2CLO3
- B.
HCLO2
- C.
HCLO3
Correct Answer
C. HCLO3Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:Nitric Acid
- A.
HNO3
- B.
H2NO3
- C.
HNO4
Correct Answer
A. HNO3Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:Perchloric Acid
- A.
H2CLO4
- B.
HCLO3
- C.
HCLO4
Correct Answer
C. HCLO4Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Formula for the compound:Bicarbonate
- A.
HCO4
- B.
HCO3
- C.
H2CO3
Correct Answer
B. HCO3Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the following compound:NH3
- A.
Ammonia
- B.
Ammonium
Correct Answer
A. AmmoniaExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the following compound:CN
- A.
Carbon Nitride
- B.
Cyanide
- C.
Carbon Mononitride
Correct Answer
B. CyanideExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the following compound:NH4
- A.
Ammonia
- B.
Ammonium
Correct Answer
B. AmmoniumExplanation
The compound NH4 is named ammonium. Ammonium is a positively charged polyatomic ion that consists of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is formed when ammonia (NH3) accepts a proton (H+) to become NH4+. The name "ammonium" is derived from ammonia, which is a colorless gas with a pungent odor commonly used in cleaning products and fertilizers.Rate this question:

Name the following compound:HSO4
- A.
Hydrogen Sulfide
- B.
Hydro sulfuric acid
- C.
Bisulfate
Correct Answer
C. BisulfateExplanation
The compound HSO4 is named bisulfate. This is because the prefix "bi-" indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms bonded to the sulfate ion (SO4). Therefore, the correct name for this compound is bisulfate.Rate this question:
