First of all we learned what an acid is. An acid is formed when a compound composed of hydrogen ions and a negatively charged ion are dissolved in water. Ions separate when dissolved in water? I know so super cool.
ex. H + CL = HCL ---- HCL + H20-->H30 + CL H ion joins with H20 to form H30
Now the super super fun part and the main super super fun thing we learned....NAMING
First of all we learned how to name SIMPLE acids and they follow the following super cool rule:
1.Use "hydro" as the beginning
2.Last syllable of the non-metal is dropped and replaced with "-ic"
3.Add "acid" at the end
should be like this ____ide ---> hydro_____ic acid
these are some examples
1. HCL ---- Hydrochloric acid 2.H2F ------ Hydrofluoric acid 3. HBR ----- Hydrobromic acid
 |
| Hydrocloric Acid |
Now to name the super super complex chemicals. =) its so fun.
We take the compounds at the back of the sheet and apply the following totally super awesome rule
1. Replace the "ate" ending with "ic" or
Replace the "ite" ending with "ous"
 |
| Ignore label. It is actually Acetic Acid |
2. Put acid at the end of the name
these are some examples
1.HCH3COO --- Acetic acid aka vinegar (trolololol) 2.HCL03 --- Chloric acid 3.HNO2 --- Nitrous Acid
4.HCLO4 --- Perchloric acid
Then the TOTALLY BEST part of class is that we got a worksheet. The worksheet TOTALLY DID NOT have a lot of questions and was TOTALLY FUN. SO FUN in fact that I am so hyped up talking about it. Who doesnt like doing 100 questions? Work is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. This concludes my totally super super fun blog about this super super fun day......Yay...until next time...yay.
