Q. 10.6 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Write formulas for each of the following acids and bases:

a. barium hydroxide

b. hydroiodic acid

c. bromic acid

d. strontium hydroxide

e. acetic acid

f. hypochlorous acid

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The formulas for acids and bases are: 

(Part a) $\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_2$

(Part b)  $HI$

(Part c) ${\mathrm{HBrO}}_3$

(Part d)  $\mathrm{Sr}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_2$

(Part e) ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}$

(Part f) $\mathrm{HClO}$

Step 1 - Introduction & information (part a)

Barium hydroxide is a highly poisonous base. $Ba\left(OH\right)2$. $8H2O$created by dissolving barium oxide in water and utilised primarily in the manufacture of lubricating greases and, more recently, in the recovery of sugar from molasses.

Step 2- Explanation (part a)

a.

The element barium is represented by$Ba$and  belongs to the $IIA$ group of the periodic table and costs $+ 2 .$ Hydroxides are represented by $OH$. Therefore, the formula for rubidium hydroxide is $Ba(OH{)}_2$.

Step 3- Information (part b)

Hydrogen iodide (or hydrogen iodide) is a hydrogen iodide aqueous solution. $\left(\mathrm{Hl}\right)$ .In an aqueous solution, a strong acid that is totally ionised.

Step 4- Explanation (part b)

b.

Sometimes hydrogen iodide acid is referred to as hydrogen iodide. Hydride is symbolised by $I$and hydride is symbolised by$H+$. As a result, the hydrofluoric acid formula is$HI .$ 

Step 5- Information (part c)

Bromic acid, often known as hydrogen bromide, is an oxoacid with the chemical formula of oxoacid.$HBrO3$.Only aqueous solutions contain it. At room temperature, it decomposes to bromine and is colourless.

Step 6- Explanation (part c)

c.

Bromic acid has the following formula:$HBrO3.$

Step 7- Information (part d)

The deliquescent solid $Sr \left(OH\right) 2$In soap and fat manufacturing, beet sugar purification, and sugar honey manufacture, it forms crystalline octahydrate that dissolves in water to generate a clear alkaline solution. Used to recover sugar. This results in the development of an insoluble sacrate.

Step 8- Explanation (part d)

d.

The element strontium is represented by$\mathrm{Sr}$ and it is belongs to $IIA$group in periodic table and it has $+2$ charge. Hydroxide is represented with $\mathrm{OH}$. As a result, rubidium hydroxide's formula is $\mathrm{Sr}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_2$

Step 9 -Information (part e)

Acetic acid, or acetic acid, is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic substance with the chemical formula acetic acid.$CH3COOH$ (also known as $(CH3CO2H, C2H4O2, or HC2H3O2)$. Since vinegar has a volume of $4$The major component of vinegar, along with water and other other ingredients, is acetic acid or more.

Step 10- Explanation (part e)

e.

The formula for acetic acid is ${CH}_{3}COOH$.

Step 11- Information (part f)

Unstable, intensely oxidative but weakly produced with hydrochloric acid by the interaction of chlorine with water in solution, hypochlorous acid is primarily employed as an oxidant, bleach, disinfectant, and chlorinating agent in the form of salts. Acidic$HClO$

Step 12- Explanation (part f)

f.

The formula for acetic acid is $HClO$.
