Chemical formulas and names

[nickh]

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if anyone has a list of chemical formulas and names that we should know for the DAT? For example:

MnO4-.. Permanganate
HClO.. hypochlorous acid
HClO2.. chlorous acid
HClO3.. chloric acid
HClO4.. per chloric acid.

H2SO2.. hyposulfurous acid
H2SO3.. sulfurous acid
H2SO4.. sulfuric
H2SO5.. persulfic acid

H3PO2.. hypophosphorous acid
H3PO3.. phosphorous acid
H3PO4.. phosphoric
H3PO5.. perphosphoric acid

NaClO.. sodium hypoclorite
NaClO2.. sodium clorite
NaClO3.. sodium chorate
NaClO4.. sodium perchlorate

As sulfate, nitride and such. It has been a while since I took chem, so I don't remember these anymore :s

Honestly, I don't think a list of nomenclature is necessary. Most, if not all, of the questions test for application and mastery of concepts, not memorization. They'd be happy to give you both the formulas and names of all the compounds in the question. At least in my case, I could've gone in without knowing a single one of these names and would have done just as well.
