An oxyacid contains three main elements: hydrogen, oxygen, and another element (usually a nonmetal).
An oxyacid typically consists of three main elements - hydrogen, oxygen, and one other element (such as sulfur or nitrogen). Therefore, an oxyacid usually contains three elements.
No, hydrochloric acid is not an oxyacid. Oxyacids contain oxygen in their chemical structure, while hydrochloric acid (HCl) consists of hydrogen and chlorine atoms.
The general formula for an oxyacid is HnXOm, where "X" is a nonmetal element and "m" and "n" are integers. The specific formula depends on the particular oxyacid being referred to.
Yes, acetic acid is an oxyacid because it contains oxygen as well as hydrogen and another element—in this case, carbon. Oxyacids are compounds that contain oxygen, hydrogen, and a nonmetal or metalloid element.
The oxyacid derived from SO3^2- is sulfite (SO3^2-). The formula for the corresponding oxyacid, sulfurous acid, is H2SO3.
