Ternary Oxyacid
Ternary oxyacids are aqueous solutions of acompound containing hydrogen and an oxyanion.
• If the acid is derived from an oxyanion ending in-ate, the suffix is changed to -ic acid.
– HNO3 (aq) is nitric acid (from NO3-, nitrate ion).
• If the acid is derived from an oxyanion ending in-ite, the suffix is changed to -ous acid.
– HNO2 (aq) is nitrous acid (from NO2-, nitrite ion)
Common Ternary (oxyacids) Acids
Perchloric acid HClO₄
Chloric acid HClO₃
Chlorous acid HClO₂
Hypochlorous acid HClO
Nitric acid HNO₃
Nitrous acid HNO₂
Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄
Sulfurous acid H₂SO₃
Acetic acid HC₂H₃O₂
Carbonic acid H₂CO₃
Oxalic acid H₂C₂O₄
Phosphoric acid H₃PO₄
