Question

When the name of an anion that is part of an acid ends in -ite, the acid name includes the suffix ____. (1 point)-ous?

Answer 1

Suffix -ous

Step-by-step explanation:

The anions with a suffix -ite came from an oxide with one of the lower valence of the element. For example
`SO_3^-` is sulfite and came from the
`SO_2` where the S has a valence of +4)

Acids derived from those anions have the suffix -ous. For example
`H_2SO_3` is the sulfurous acid.
