Question

Provide the name or chemical formula, as appropriate, for 
each of the following acids: (a) hydroiodic acid

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, we're asked to provide the formula for oxalic acid. Now we know that if our asset ends in I. C. That means the an ion must have ended in a. T. E. So in this case it would be our oxalate ion. And this has a formula of C. 2042 minus, which we've learned as one of our poly atomic ions. Now in order to create our formula, we know that we have to add an H. Plus since we're creating its acidic form. And when we add H plus two C +2042 minus which is our oxalate ion, We need to balance this out by adding a coefficient of two prior to our H plus. So our formula is going to come up to H two C + and this is going to be completely balanced. So I hope this made sense. And let us know if you have any questions.
