Hi everyone,
This is my first post and first time on here. I am confused, I'm in Chem 100 and studying Nomenclature of Inorganic Compounds chapter right now. What my homework question is
"What is the name of HNO3(aq) ?"
I know H= Hydrogen , N= Nitrogen, O= Oxygen , 3 is tri? or ide? I also think that (aq) means dissolved in water.....Right? I'm so so lost. The book we are using (and even the professor agrees) is just confusing and too advanced for Chem 100. The way the book is set up and written doesn't explain very well how to do all this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not just looking for the answer, I'm trying to figure out how to actually do this!
Please Heeelllppp!!! And I have to take 3-4 more chem classes for my major, so I really need to get a good foundation, and I may be here for the next while!
Thank you,
Amanda
