Naming Acids and Bases

Master naming acids and bases! Practice worksheet for chemistry students.

Match the naming rule with the anion suffix it goes with. -ide hydro_ic acid -ate _ic acid -ite _ous acid Click the word in the blank that finishes each sentence. You can easily identify acids because their chemical formulas start with H.You can easily identify bases because their chemical formulas usually end with OH. What is the name of the compound H2SO3? hydrosulfuric acid sulfuric acid sulfurous acid What is the name of the compound H2S? hydrosulfuric acid sulfuric acid sulfurous acid What is the name of the compound H2SO4? hydrosulfuric acid sulfuric acid sulfurous acid What is the name of the compound H3PO4? hydrophosphoric acid phosphoric acid phosphorous acid What is the name of the compound H3P? hydrophosphoric acid phosphoric acid phosphorous acid What is the name of the compound H3PO3? hydrophosphoric acid phosphoric acid phosphorous acid Write the name of each compound on the right side of the table.
