Question

classify the acids according to the basicity and give one example of each

Answer 1

The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions, which can be produced by one molecule of the acid.

Eg:- HCl → H+ + Cl- ( Basicity =1)

H2SO4 → 2H+ + SO4 ^-2 (Basicity= 2)

Answer 2

Basicity of acids: The number of H+ ions obtainable by the dissociation of one molecule of an acid is called its basicity. The acids are classified as monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids based on number of H+ ions present.

Example of monobasic acid: HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH

Example of dibasic acid: H2SO4, H2CO3

Example of tribasic acid: H3BO3, H3PO4
