HCH3COO is acetic acid--acid
NaCL is sodium chloride--salt
H2CO3 is carbonic acid --acid
C6H8)7 I can't interpret
Mg(OH) is magnesium hydroxide--base
NaOH is sodium hydroxide--base
KBr is potassium bromide--salt
Sr(OH)2 is strontium hydroxide--base
HNO3 is nitric acid--acid

oops I spelt that one wrong its actually C6H8O7
Answered by DrBob222
I don't know what that is. It's just another empirical formula. CH3COOH I recognize as acetic acid but C2H4O2 (the empirical formula for aca\etic acid) is not recognizable. There are so many compounds it can be.

Doesn't it seem obvious it is an acid?
Here is the formula.

I typed in C6H8O and not C6H8O7. So those three "possibilities" I gave you won't fit.
