IUPAC Names for CuCl, Plumbic Iodide, NH4ClO, SnH4, and KMnO4

[Roxy]

What would be th IUPAC names for these:

a) CuCl...is it Copper chloride
c) plumbic iodide...?
e)NH4ClO...amonium something??
i) SnH4... tin tetrehydroxide?
k) KMnO4...?

 

[MusicMonkey]

KMnO4 = potassium permanganate

 

[MusicMonkey]

c) PbI (Plumbic = Lead, Iodide = Iodine)

 

[Samantha]

are the others right?

is this
e)NH4ClO...amonium perchlorate

 

[MusicMonkey]

a) Not 100% sure but would likely be copper (I) chloride just to be specific.
e) ammonium hypochlorite
i) stannane

 

[MusicMonkey]

a) can also be called cuprous chloride

 

[MusicMonkey]

e)NH4ClO...yes it can also be ammonium perchlorate

 

[Roxy]

Thanks I get it now. One other question:

Whats the formula for stannic bromide? Is stannic a element?

 

[MusicMonkey]

Sn 4+ tin(IV) or stannic

Therefore it would be SnBr4

 

[Roxy]

thank you

 

[MusicMonkey]

No problem I hope you understand now.

Nope.Tetrahydride of Tin/Stanium.

How'd u get that?

 

[amb123]

e)NH4ClO...yes it can also be ammonium perchlorate

I thought it was

CLO4 Perchlorate
CLO3 Chlorate
CLO2 Chlorite
CLO Hypochlorite

I haven't taken gen chem in a while, but I thought that per meant "hyper" which indicated an extra oxygen. (-ite indicates one less, and hypo--ite indicates 2 less than orig).

??
-A

Isn't the compound
SnH_{4}

If so,then it is TETRA (apud 4 atoms) HIDRIDE (it is a metalic hydride) of TIN/STANIUM.

ya i think i get it

That's not correct.The anionic radical ClO^{-} is called HYPOCHLORIDE...

Actually, hypochlorite.

Roxy, I suggest you forget about everything in this thread until you read this : http://www.cofc.edu/~deavorj/101/nomenclature.html

Note that sometimes the cation is referred to by the latinized name indicating element and oxidation state. The common latin names for elements are found here http://www.syvum.com/cgi/online/serve.cgi/squizzes/chem/periodic1b.html

These names are used usually if an element exhibits multiple oxidation states. In such cases, the suffix -ous indicates the lower oxidation state and -ic refers to the higher one.

So, iron (II) is ferrous and iron (III) is ferric.
