When working with inorganic acids, always start with the `ate' polyatomic ion.

example: CO₃ has a 2- charge so 2 hydrogens will be needed:

+1 2-
H₂CO₃ this would be named: carbonic acid

The six most common acids we use are given next. They all end in `ic'

HbrO₃ bromic acid H₃PO₄ phosphoric acid

HClO₃ chloric acid H₂SO₄ sulfuric acid

HNO₃ nitric acid H₂CO₃ carbonic acid

Use these as starting points for the alternative acid (and their names)
