You didn't do anything wrong. Those answers are right.

@chenbot no they are not two are wrong and there is no answer for part f.

@kateopotato  why not put the answers in the same order as the questions it makes things easier.  Also you have not written the answer that are correct in the usual form. i.e. water is usually written H2O not HOH

@ DrCMS: I think that is the point of the exam(test, quiz or whatever you call it). They will present some unreasonable answers so that the average or below average students can get a D at least.

As for the question, I think all your answers are correct. But i haven't seen that acetic acid formula but its name is probably true
