is there a formula for hydro acetic(sp?) acid? what is it?

i'm also struggling with the roman numerals too, when do i put a roman numeral in front of the element, when its a transition element?

possibly HC2H3O2 ?
On a completely seperate note (LOL) I LOVE GOOGLE!!!

I like to think of it as resourceful!

It is a transition metal that has the capability of having mutiple charges and is expressed when written with roman numerals.
Examples would be:
iron (II) oxide = FeO
iron (III) oxide = Fe2O3
copper (I) chloride = CuCl
copper (II) chloride = CuCl2

ok great! I understand that now, what about the acids? I need to list 5 acids and there formula, tell me if this is cool:
HBr
HydroBromic acid
acetic acid
HC2H3O2
Percloric acid
HClO4
Phosphous acid
H3PO3
Hydronitric acid
H3N
Are they correct?????????????

It's been a few years since I had to use these formulations in a lab environment, but that looks right to my memory.

im a little rusty but isnt Hydrazoic acid the actuall name of Hydronitric acid? HN3

The first two are correct.
HClO4 is perchloric acid.
H3PO3 is phosphorous acid. You did the formula correct for your level, but in upper level chemistry the formula is more correctly written (OH)2HPO.
H3N is not an acid; it is ammonia backwards.
One more acid you can use is HCl; hydrochloric acid.
I hope this helps!
