Video transcript

Hey everyone, Our question here is asking us to provide the name for the following compound. As we can see right here, we can recognize our former ion as h c 00 minus. So this means we simply added an H plus in order to create our compound. And since this is our former ion in order to name this, all we need to do is change the ending of A. T into icy. So the name of our compound is going to be formic acid since we simply added an H Plus to our form A ion. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
