Naming Acids from Elements

The video tutorial explains how to name the acid HI using a flowchart and simple rules. It begins by identifying the elements involved, hydrogen and iodine, and applies the prefix 'hydro' to the name. The periodic table is used to find iodine, and its name is modified by removing 'ine' and adding 'ic' to form 'hydroiodic'. Finally, the word 'acid' is added to complete the name as 'hydroiodic acid'.

What is the first step in naming an acid with two elements?

• Look up the element on the periodic table

• Cross out the 'ine' from the element name

• Add 'acid' at the end

• Write 'hydro' as a prefix

When using the periodic table to name an acid, what should you do after finding the element?

• Write 'hydro' as a prefix

• Cross out the 'ine' from the element name

• Add 'acid' at the end

• Add 'ic' to the element name

What is the correct suffix to add after modifying the element name in an acid?

• ous

• ic

• ate

• ide

What is the final step in naming an acid?

• Cross out the 'ine' from the element name

• Add 'acid' at the end

• Add 'hydro' as a prefix

• Look up the element on the periodic table

What is the name of the acid formed by hydrogen and iodine?

• Iodic acid

• Hydroiodic acid

• Iodous acid

• Hydroiodous acid
