What type of compounds are acids?
Acids are molecular compounds that release hydrogen ions. A binary acid consists of hydrogen and one other element. Oxoacids contain hydrogen, oxygen, and one other element. The name of the acid is based on the anion attached to the hydrogen.
Which compounds from the list are acidic?

- HCl – hydrochloric acid.
- HNO3 – nitric acid.
- H2SO4 – sulfuric acid.
- HBr – hydrobromic acid.
- HI – hydroiodic acid.
- HClO4 – perchloric acid.
Are all acids ionic compounds?
Initially, we will define an acid as an ionic compound of the H+ cation dissolved in water. If a compound is composed of hydrogen ions and a polyatomic anion, then the name of the acid is derived from the stem of the polyatomic ion’s name.
What are common acids?
(a) Hydrogen is the element which is common to all acids. When an acid is dissolved in water, it gives out \({H^ + }\) ions which are protons.

What do the acids have in common?
Fumaric Acid. This is a food acidulant that has a very strong taste. As it is not highly soluble, it only has some limited applications in the food and beverage industry.
What are the products of acids?
Manufacturers use acids and bases, which have distinctive properties, in products including medicines, construction materials and other goods. Acids and bases also occur naturally in most common food and animal products. Common acidic foods include citrus fruits, wine, yogurt with active cultures and most fermented foods and aged cheeses.
What are examples of acids and bases at home?
Cyanide acid. Cyanide acid (HCN) is a chemical compound that we can find in yam.
What is common to all acids?
Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen are the elements common to all acids. Because the functional group of acid is COOH which represents the above mentioned elements.
