4.2.2.4 Naming salts formed from different acids

• What is the salt name derived from Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄)?

  Phosphate
• What is the formula for the anion Sulfate?

  SO₄²⁻
• What is the salt name derived from Sulfuric Acid?

  Calcium Sulfate
• What is the anion of Sulfuric Acid?

  Sulfate
• How do you name salts from acids?

  • Identify the acid
  • Determine the anion from the acid
  • Pair the anion with the metal (or ammonium) cation
• What is the anion of Nitric Acid?

  Nitrate
• What is the salt name derived from Nitric Acid?

  Potassium Nitrate
• What is the first step in naming salts?

  Combine the cation and anion names
• What is the salt name derived from Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄)?

  Sulfate
• Which groups in the periodic table contain metals that can be cations?

  Groups 1, 2, and transition metals
• What is the salt name derived from Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)?

  Chloride
• What is the salt formula for Sodium Chloride?

  NaCl
• What is the salt name for CaSO₄?

  Calcium Sulfate
• What is an anion?

  A negatively charged ion
• What is the relationship between acids and anions?

  • Acids lose hydrogen ions (H⁺)
  • The remaining part is the anion
  • Anions are negatively charged
• What is the formula for the anion Chloride?

  Cl⁻
• How is ammonium treated when naming salts?

  As a cation
• What is the salt formula for Ammonium Carbonate?

  (NH₄)₂CO₃
• Why is understanding the cation important in naming salts?

  It is key to naming salts correctly
• What is the salt name derived from Nitric Acid (HNO₃)?

  Nitrate
• How can you determine the type of salt being formed?

  • Identify the acid
  • Name the corresponding salt based on the acid
• What is the formula for the anion Nitrate?


  NO₃⁻
• What is a cation?

  A positively charged ion
• Why do we include the metal's charge in naming conventions?

  To distinguish different salts of the metal
• What is the anion of Hydrochloric Acid?

  Chloride
• What is the salt name formed from Sodium (Na⁺) and Chloride (Cl⁻)?

  Sodium Chloride
• What types of ions can be cations?

  Metals or ammonium ions
• What is the general format for naming salts?

  • Cation name (metal or ammonium)
  • Anion name (from the acid)
  • Cation comes first in the salt name
• Why is it important to know the acid when naming salts?

  To correctly identify the salt's origin
• How does the naming convention change when a metal has multiple charges?

  The charge is added as a Roman numeral
• What is the relationship between acids and salts?

  • Salts are derived from acids
  • Naming salts requires knowledge of their corresponding acids
• What is the salt name formed from Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Sulfate (SO₄²⁻)?

  Calcium Sulfate
• Why does the cation come first in the salt name?

  It is the standard naming convention
• What is the anion in an acid?

  The negatively charged part after losing H⁺
• What is the formula for ammonium?

  NH₄⁺
• What is the anion name for Carbonic Acid?

  Carbonate
• What is the salt name formed from Ammonium (NH₄⁺) and Nitrate (NO₃⁻)?

  Ammonium Nitrate
• Why is it important to use specific anion names when naming salts from these acids?

  To maintain clarity in chemical naming
• What is the anion name for Acetic Acid?

  Acetate
• What are the naming conventions for special acid anions?

  • Carbonic Acid: Carbonate (e.g., Sodium Carbonate)
  • Acetic Acid: Acetate (e.g., Ammonium Acetate)
  • Sulfurous Acid: Sulfite (e.g., Potassium Sulfite)
