Question

What is the name of the acid that contains this polyatomic ion, (CIO3)-1?

hydrochloric acid

hydrochlorous acid

chloric acid

perchloride acid

Answer 1

Nitric Acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Any polyatomic ion with the suffix “-ate” uses the suffix “-ic” as an acid. So, HNO3 will be nitric acid. When you have a polyatomic ion with one more oxygen than the “-ate” ion, then your acid will have the prefix “per-” and the suffix “-ic.” For example, the chlorate ion is ClO3–.
