to write the name for h2so4 sulphuric
acid we use the flow chart here and a
common ion table we have HS and O so we
have three different elements and if we
have three different elements we'll use
at this side of our flow chart so we
have our hydrogen that's what makes this
an acid and that's bonded to this so4
group called a polyatomic ion what we
need to know is the name of this
polyatomic ion so we can name the acid
so we'll go to the common ion table and
find the name for s o4 because hydrogen
has a +1 charge and we have two of them
this will be a plus two and this is
gonna have a minus two so it'll be so4 2
minus on our common ion table we're
gonna look for so4 2 minus so we go down
the table here keep going down here's
the 2 minus ions and there we are
so4 2 minus it's called the sulfate ion
so now we know we have the sulfate ion
we'll go back to our flow chart and
we'll write sulfate since it ends in a
te we'll take a te get rid of that and
replace it with I see then we write the
name acid we're almost there though
sulfur is a bit of an exception we need
to keep the you are here when we name it
so instead of self thick acid it'll be
sulfuric acid so the correct name for
h2so4 is sulfuric acid this is dr. B and
thanks for watching
