Nomenclature: Inorganic Acids

Instructions

Use this page to help you memorize the names and formulas of the more common inorganic acids. This drill will present you, at random, with either a list of formulas or a list of names. If you are given a list of formulas, enter the names of the acids in the spaces provided. If you are given a list of names, enter the correct chemical formulas in the spaces provided. Case is significant in formulas, e.g. H20, not h2o. Subscripts are entered as simple numbers, e.g. H2SO4 would be entered as H2SO4. Don't forget to use parentheses when they are required, e.g. Ca(NO3)2. Select "Check Answer" to see if your answer is correct; select "Give Up" if you want to see the answer.
