Chapter 11 - Acids and Bases - 11.1 Acids and Bases - Questions and Problems - Page 403: 11.6

Answer

a. $Ba(OH)_2$ b. $HI$ c. $HNO_3$ d. $Sr(OH)_2$ e. $HC_2H_3O_2$ f. $HClO$

Work Step by Step

a. Since Barium is from the second column of the periodic table, it forms the $Ba^{2+}$ ion. Thus, it needs two hydroxide ions $OH^-$ to balance the total charge: $Ba^{2+} + 2OH^- \longrightarrow Ba(OH)_2$ b. See table 11.1 (Page 401) c. See table 11.1 (Page 401) d. Since Strontium is from the second column of the periodic table, it forms the $Sr^{2+}$ ion. Thus, it needs two hydroxide ions $OH^-$ to balance the total charge: $Sr^{2+} + 2OH^- \longrightarrow Sr(OH)_2$ e. See table 11.1 (Page 401) f. As we can see on the third paragraph of the 'Naming acids' section, $HClO$ is named hypochlorous acid.
