An oxoacid is an acid that contains one or more oxygen atoms. Generally, an oxoacid contains hydrogen, oxygen, and at least one other element. For example, H3PO4 and HNO3 are both oxoacids.

An oxoacid is a compound whose molecule contains at least one hydroxy group bonded to an atom that is doubly bonded to at least one oxygen atom. Ex. Carboxylic acids, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid.
