Acids are compounds that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Inorganic acids are those acids which do not contain carbon. Thus, inorganic acid formulas usually begin with hydrogen and end with one or more nonmetal components other than carbon. What is the name of the inorganic acid with the formula H3PO4?
phosphoric acid
Acids are compounds that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Inorganic acids are those acids which do not contain carbon. Thus, inorganic acid formulas usually begin with hydrogen and end with one or more nonmetal components other than carbon. What is the name of the inorganic acid with the formula H2SO4?
