Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Produit d'addition de l'acide chlorhydrique [HCl] avec une base azotée ou phosphorée (il s'agit alors d'un sel) ou avec un composé renfermant une liaison multiple (il s'agit alors d'un composé organique chloré). 3, record 1, French, - chlorhydrate
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
chlorhydrate; hydrochlorure : Le terme «chlorhydrate» est un dérivé d'«acide chlorhydrique»; la terminaison en «-ate» est correcte ici. Une terminaison en «-ure» donnerait «chlorhydrure», ce qui est inacceptable (notons que «chlorhydrique» ne peut donner «hydrochlorure»); la règle est à l'effet de donner la terminaison «-ure» (en anglais : «-ide») aux anions (chargés négativement) monoatomiques, comme Cl0, et la terminaison «-ate» aux anions polyatomiques, dont HCl, qui porte le nom d'un anion sans en être un. Conclusion : la forme française «hydrochlorure» est à proscrire. 2, record 1, French, - chlorhydrate
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Exemples : chlorhydrate d'ammonium (NH4Cl), chlorhydrate d'arginine et chlorhydrate de lysine. 4, record 1, French, - chlorhydrate
