In this video we'll write the correct formula for Hypochlorous acid (HClO). A step-by-step guide to writing formula for Hypochlorous acid using a simple flowchart, common ion table, and lots of examples and practice.

To write formulas for acids we need to determine if it is a binary acid (two different elements) or and oxyacid (three different elements, one of which is oxygen).

Because Hypochlorous acid has a polyatomic ion (the group of non-metals after the metal) we’ll need to use a table of names for common polyatomic ions, in addition to the Periodic Table.

General Rules for Formula Writing for Acids
(see    • Formula Writing for Acids: Explanation, Fl...  )

If the name for the acid is:

Hydro + stem + ic
1. Write H.
2. Use the stem to find element name on the
periodic table.
3. Balance the charges.

Stem + ic
1. Write the ion: stem + ate
2. Look up ion on Common Ion Table.
3. Write H and then the ion formula.
4. Balance the charges.

Stem + ous
1. Write the ion: stem + ite
2. Look up ion on Common Ion Table.
3. Write H and then the ion formula.
4. Balance the charges.
