What do you call the acid formed with nitrogen that has two oxygen atoms?

D.  Nitrous acid

Given Options:

A.  Nitric

B.  Nitrous

C.  Hydronitrous acid

D.  Nitrous acid

Explanation:

The following information is provided with the question on Edmentum:

Ternary acids

Ternary acids contain three elements. Here, we will discuss those that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and a third element. These ternary acids are named according to the number of oxygen atoms in each molecule. The most common form is given the -ic suffix, but no prefix is used. So the ternary acid of hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur is sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

A second acid with the same elements

Sometimes a second acid is formed that contains the same three elements, but fewer oxygen atoms. Still no prefix is used, but the suffix changes from -ic to -ous. So H2SO3 is sulfurous acid.

A third acid with the same elements

If a third acid is formed with the same three elements but even fewer oxygen atoms, the prefix hypo- is added along with the suffix -ous. H2SO2 is called hyposulfurous acid.

Conclusion:

According to the given information, the acid formed with nitrogen that has two oxygen atoms would have the suffix changed from -ic to -ous.  Hydronitrous acid can be eliminated because these should be no prefix. Therefore, nitrous acid is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!
