(b) NaClO sodium hypochlorite
(c) CaI2 calcium diiodide
(d) SnCrO4 tin chromate
(e) NaBrO3 sodium bromite
Solution 96P
Here we are going to the correct name of the following compounds.
(a) HNO3(aq)
It is an acid and it contains the nitrate (NO3-) ion. So
The correct name of the compound will be Nitric acid.
(b) NaClO
It is a ionic compound which is formed by Na+(metal) ion and ClO- (polyatomic ion having non metals) ion by ionic bonding.
The correct name of the compound will be Sodium hypochlorite.
(c) CaI2
It is a ionic compound which is formed by Ca2+(metal) ion and I- (nonmetal) ion by ionic bonding.
The correct name of the compound will be Calcium iodide.
(d) SnCrO4
It is a ionic compound which is formed by Sn2+(metal) ion and CrO-24 (polyatomic ion having non metals) ion by ionic bonding.
The correct name of the compound will be Tin (II) chromate or stannous (II) chromate
(e) NaBrO3
It is a ionic compound which is formed by Na+(metal) ion and BrO3 -(bromate, polyatomic ion having non metals) ion by ionic bonding.
The correct name of the compound will be sodium bromate.
