Which of these compounds are oxoacids (also known as oxyacids)?

At the very least, an oxoacid must 1) be an acid and 2) contain oxygen.

Ba(OH)2 (barium hydroxide) is a strong base. HCN, HF, and hydrochloric acid (HCl) don't contain oxygen.

Nitrous acid (HNO2) is an acid, and it contains oxygen. And the acidic hydrogen is bonded to an oxygen. Thus, nitrous acid qualifies as an oxoacid.

I don't know if H2PO4 is a typo; if not, then it would properly be written as H2PO4⁻ since it's the first deprotonation product of phosphoric acid, H3PO4. In any case, H2PO4⁻ is still acidic, albeit weakly, and its acidic hydrogens are bonded to the oxygen atoms. Thus, "H2PO4" would qualify as an oxoacid (for that matter, H3PO4 would also be an oxoacid).

Chloric acid (HClO3) is an acid, and it contains oxygen; its acidic hydrogen is bonded to an oxygen atom. Thus, chloric acid qualifies as an oxoacid.

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
Komok [63]

The  moles  of  oxygen  gas (O2) that is needed is    4  moles


 Explanation

2H2 +O2 → 2H2O

The  moles of O2  is determined using the mole  ratio  of H2:O2

that is from equation  above H2:O2  is 2:1  

If the moles of H2  is 8  moles therefore  the moles  of O2

 = 8 moles x 1/2  = 4 moles

Do you think there should be greater restrictions on who can buy explosives or accelerants? Why or why not?
fgiga [73]
In my opinion yes, as of now, almost anyone could get there hands on lets say an explosive. Have you heard of dynamite fishing? It is illegal, but it is still done once people have access to dynamite, then what ends up happening not only do marine wildlife get killed but it pollutes the water and lessens the chance of the natural cycle of life. Also there are several other factors, firstly, what will you do with an explosive once you get your hands on it? Perhaps you could just use an explosive for fun/personal entertainment...that isn't right and it could harm people. So, to conclude the harder it is for people to access explosives or even acclerants the better...and to add this can be possible by making people get like some sort of licence to use them, and let them be trained in certain conditions so that there is no regrets once they have access to them. I know my idea sounds far fetched but its a thought!
