Identify the chemical formula of each compound: HOCN and H5IO6.
Determine the type of acid or base for each compound. HOCN is a cyanate acid, and H5IO6 is an iodic acid.
Classify HOCN: It is a weak acid because it does not completely dissociate in water.
Classify H5IO6: It is a weak oxyacid because it contains oxygen and does not completely dissociate in water.
