Question

Write formulas for each of the following acids and bases:

a. rubidium hydroxide

b. hydrofluoric acid

c. phosphoric acid

d. lithium hydroxide

e. ammonium hydroxide

f. periodic acid

Short answer

a.$\mathrm{RbOH}$

b. HF

c. ${\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{PO}}_4$

d.$\mathrm{LiOH}$

e.${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{OH}$

f.${\mathrm{HIO}}_4$

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

An acid is a proton giver. While a base is a proton acceptor. An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is fit for giving a proton (hydrogen particle) to another substance. A base is an atom or particle ready to acknowledge a hydrogen particle from an acid.

Explanation

Formulas for each of the following acids and bases:

a. rubidium hydroxide- $\mathrm{RbOH}$

b. hydrofluoric acid-$HF$

c. phosphoric acid-${\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{PO}}_4$

d. lithium hydroxide-$\mathrm{LiOH}$

e. ammonium hydroxide-${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{OH}$

f. periodic acid-${\mathrm{HIO}}_4$
