Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Naming Rules for Oxyacids and Binary Acids
  • Oxyacids: Acids that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and another element. The name is based on the polyatomic ion.
    • If the polyatomic ion ends in "-ate," the acid name ends in "-ic acid."
    • If the polyatomic ion ends in "-ite," the acid name ends in "-ous acid."
  • Binary acids: Acids that consist of hydrogen and one other element. The name is "hydro-" + root of the element + "-ic acid."
Step 2: Name $\mathrm{HClO}_{2}$
  • The polyatomic ion is chlorite ($\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}$).
  • Since it ends in "-ite," the acid name is "chlorous acid."

\[ \boxed{\text{HClO}_2 \text{ is chlorous acid}} \]

Step 3: Name $\mathrm{HBrO}_{3}$
  • The polyatomic ion is bromate ($\mathrm{BrO}_{3}^{-}$).
  • Since it ends in "-ate," the acid name is "bromic acid."

\[ \boxed{\text{HBrO}_3 \text{ is bromic acid}} \]

Step 4: Name HF
  • This is a binary acid consisting of hydrogen and fluorine.
  • The name is "hydrofluoric acid."

\[ \boxed{\text{HF \text{ is hydrofluoric acid}}} \]

Step 5: Name $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$
  • The polyatomic ion is carbonate ($\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$).
  • Since it ends in "-ate," the acid name is "carbonic acid."

\[ \boxed{\text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \text{ is carbonic acid}} \]

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{chemical formula} & \text{name} \\ \hline \text{HClO}_2 & \boxed{\text{chlorous acid}} \\ \hline \text{HBrO}_3 & \boxed{\text{bromic acid}} \\ \hline \text{HF} & \boxed{\text{hydrofluoric acid}} \\ \hline \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 & \boxed{\text{carbonic acid}} \\ \hline \end{array} \]
