Short answer

The correct name of each compound and its mistake was found.

Step-by-step solution

Correct name for the compound Iron chloride

The compound is binary. It is a transition metal. The name of the compound should have Roman numeral. Three chlorine ions should be balanced by three Iron ions. Roman numeral is missing. Thus, the correct name is Iron (III) chloride.

Correct name for the compound nitrogen (IV) oxide

It is a transition metal. There is no need of Roman numeral here. Thus, the correct name is nitrogen dioxide.

Correct name for the compound calcium (II) monoxide

It is an alkaline earth metal. There is no need of Roman numeral. Thus, the correct name is Calcium oxide.

Correct name for the compound dialuminiumtrisulfide

This is group 3 A element. The prefix di and Tri are wrong. Thus, the correct name is aluminium sulfide.

Correct name for the compound manganese diacetate

The symbol Mg denotes magnesiu,m not manganese. Roman numeral is not necessary .Thus, the correct name ismagnesium acetate.

Correct name for the compound Iron (II) phosphide

It is a transition metal. Roman numeral and phosphide are wrong. Thus, the correct name is Iron (III) phosphate.

Correct name for the compound phosphorous sulfide

The compound is binary covalent. So, the prefix should be used. Thus, the correct name is Diphosphorouspentasulfide.

Correct name for the compound sodium oxide

The compound belongs to 1A metal. There is a need of balancing the charges. Thus, the correct name is sodium peroxide.

Correct name for the compound nitrate acid

Since hydrogen is not a metal. The anion has oxygen and it is nitrate ion. Nitrate is not correct. Thus, the correct name is nitric acid.

Correct name for the compound sulfuric acid

There is no oxygen atom in anion. It will form hydro sulfuric acid when it is mixed with water. Thus, the correct name isHydro sulfuric acid.
