How do you read this: HI(aq)?

Question

If it is HI(g), it will be read as hydrogen iodide. But if it is an aq solution, we follow this: ate-ic; ite-ous..

But it's -ide!! How do you read it? I answered hydroiodic acid! huhu.. Was I right?

Answer 1

If it's HI(g) Its Hydrogen Iodide "gaseous"  not hydrogen iodide

HI(aq) means hydrogen iodide aqeous also u can call it as HYdro IOdic Acid ur correct

Answer 2

Your answer should have been accepted...HI(aq) is as much hydroiodic acid as is HF(aq) hydrofluoric acid or HCl(aq) hydrochloric acid...instructor error. The gases are -ides, the water solns -acids.

Answer 3

I would think hydrocloric acid but thats hcl not hl.
