Naming and Identifying Acids

The video tutorial explains how to name the acid HClO3, known as chloric acid, using a flowchart and a common ion table. It begins by identifying the elements in HClO3 and recognizing it as an acid. The tutorial then focuses on the polyatomic ion ClO3, which is identified as the chlorate ion using the common ion table. Following the flowchart, the tutorial demonstrates how to replace the 'ate' suffix with 'ic' to form the name 'chloric acid'. The video concludes with a summary of the naming process.
