The formula of binary acids is generally written as <strong>HX<\/strong>, where <strong>X<\/strong> represents a halogen or another nonmetal. The key characteristic of binary acids is that they contain just two types of elements: hydrogen and a single other element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s go over each of the given options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hydrochloric acid (HCl)<\/strong>: This is a binary acid because it consists of hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl), which is a nonmetal. It follows the general formula for binary acids: <strong>HX<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hydrobromic acid (HBr)<\/strong>: This is also a binary acid because it consists of hydrogen (H) and bromine (Br), which is another halogen and a nonmetal. This also fits the formula <strong>HX<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hydroiodic acid (HI)<\/strong>: This is another binary acid, containing hydrogen (H) and iodine (I), another halogen. It follows the <strong>HX<\/strong> structure as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>None of the above<\/strong>: Since all three acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, and hydroiodic acid) are binary acids, the correct answer is <strong>D. none of the above<\/strong> because none of them can be classified as non-binary acids.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The defining feature of binary acids is their structure, which must consist of only two elements\u2014hydrogen and a nonmetal. The acids listed (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, and hydroiodic acid) all conform to this definition, as they are composed of hydrogen and a halogen, which is a nonmetal. These acids are all examples of <strong>hydrogen halides<\/strong> in aqueous solution, which are strong acids when dissolved in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, non-binary acids would include compounds that contain more than two elements. A common example of a non-binary acid is sulfuric acid (H\u2082SO\u2084), which contains hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which is not a binary acid?A. hydrochloric acidB. hydrobromic acidC. hydroiodic acidD. none of the above The correct answer and explanation is : The correct answer is D. none of the above.
