Question

Name each acid hint the names if the oxyanions are analogous to the names of the oxyanions of chlorine?

1) HBrO���
2) HIO���

Answer 1

HBrO is named hypobromous acid and HIO is named hypoiodous acid, following the naming convention for acids based on the oxyanions of chlorine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to name two acids whose oxyanions are analogous to the oxyanions of chlorine. Specifically, the chemicals in question are HBrO and HIO.

To name the acids formed from oxyanions, we change the -ate suffix of the oxyanion to -ic acid. Therefore:

1. HBrO, which is analogous to hypochlorous acid (HClO), would be named hypobromous acid.
2. HIO, analogous to hypoiodous acid (HIO), would be named hypoiodous acid.

Oxyanions with one fewer oxygen than the -ate form are given the prefix 'hypo-' and the suffix '-ous' in their acid forms. These rules help guide us to the correct naming of the acids derived from the corresponding oxyanions.
