Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're asked to provide the formula for periodic acid. Now we've learned with our naming rules that if our acid ends in I. C. Then that means our ion must have ended in a. T. E. So in this case it would be variety. And the formula for pariah date is going to be I. 04 minus. So when we create the acidic form of pariah date, which is periodic acid, we would simply add an H. Plus to our I. +04 minus. And since we're at a 1 to 1 ratio, our formula is simply going to be a church I 04 and this is going to be our final answer. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
