Why is it important that acids and bases have certain naming rules? Why shouldn't we just call them whatever we want?

Explanation:

This naming can help identify a solution as acid or base (and some of its properties) even before conducting tests. It also allows scientists across the world to collaborate through using a standard naming system.

Naming of the acids and bases is significant in identifying the type and properties of the acid or base. Acids, for example, are named based on the anion attached to the H+ ion in the chemical structure. For example, HCl is called hydrochloric acid because the H+ is bound to a Chloride ion. The suffix for acid is;  –ic, -ate & -ous.

Bases, on the other hand, are named based on the cation attached to the hydroxide eg, CaOH is named calcium hydroxide. The suffix for bases is -ide.

It is important to have certain naming rules for both acids or bases so we can distinguish them from one another.

Explanation:

These scientific names are used all over the world. Without these rules, one would not be able to tell the difference between an acid or base. These names not only explain the nature of these substances as well as their reactive properties.  

The name of an acid is classified on the basis of its anions while a base is named using the ionic system.

The examples  of common bases are potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide etc while common acids are sulfuric acid, citric acid etc.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
