| @sproutcm: Sorry, I meant aqueous hydrogen carbonate. No need to make me look like an absolute idiot. Generally speaking, acids are in the aqueous form. When talking about compounds such as HCl or HSO3 etc. it is generally assumed that you are talking about a solution in which the compound is created which includes being dissolved in water. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a proper link to back up my previous point, however, in my chemistry textbook that I have beside me, it lists these names under IUPAC. Now, unless my chemistry textbook is outdated and the rules have been changed since it was written, I think my point is valid. Also, if you have significant proof that shows otherwise, then I plead that you show it to me so I can print it and show it to my teacher. However, she will probably be angry as whatever nomenclature she has taught us up to this point is now useless. |
