Answer:
H₂SO₄ is not a binary acid, because it contains three different elements.
Binary acids like HCl and H₂S have two names:
The "hydrogen name" is "hydrogen" + element stem + "ide". For the pure compounds, this gives names like hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide.
The "acid name" is used for aqueous solutions. The name is "hydro" + element stem + "ic acid". This gives names like hydrochloric acid and hydrosulfuric acid.
