ANSWER:
Solution 78P
Step 1:
Binary acids are molecules, which contain two elements; one element is hydrogen, and the other one is a nonmetal element, which is more electronegative than hydrogen. Therefore, binary acids can donate H+ ions in aqueous media. Examples for binary acids are HCl, HF, HBr, and H2S
An oxyacid is an acid that contains an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and at least one other element.In these acids the acidity is determined by the electronegativity of the central atom and the number of oxygen atoms.
