Questions1) Give the examples of monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids.

Answer»

Monobasic Acidsalso know as monoprotic acids

These are acids which yield one free hydrogen ion in solution for each molecule of acid ionized. An example of a monobasic acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl).HCl → H++ Cl-

Dibasic Acidsalso know as diprotic acidsThese are acids which yield two free hydrogen ions in solution for each molecule of acid ionized. An example of a dibasic acid is sulphuric acid H2SO4.H2SO4→ 2H++ SO42-

Tribasic Acidsalso know as triprotic acidsThese are acids which yield three free hydrogen ions in solution for each molecule of acid ionized. An example of a tribasic acid is phosphoric acid (H3PO4).H3PO4→ 3H++ PO43-
