Question

Classify the acids according to their basicity and give one example of each type. Answer the question.

Answer 1

Acids can be classified into three main types on the basis of the basiscity.

1. Monobasic acids ⇒Those acids which when disolved in water produces 1 Hydronium ion per molecules of the acids are called as Monobasic acids.

For examples, Hydrochloric acid,Hydrogen Flouride.

HCl + H₂O. ------→ H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻


Dibasic acids ⇒Those acids which when disolved in water produces the 2 Hydronium ions per molecules of the acids are called as Dibasic acids.

For example, Sulphuric acid.

H₂SO₄ + H₂O -------→ H₃O⁺+ HSO₄-
HSO₄- + H₂O -------→ H₃O⁺ + SO₄²⁻


Tribasic acid ⇒Those acids which when disolved in water produces the 3 Hydronium ions per molecules of the acids are called as tribasic acids.
For example, Nitric Acid.

H₃PO₄ + H₂O ---------→ H₃O + H₂PO₄⁻
H₂PO₄- + H₂O --------→ H₃O⁺ + HPO₄²-
HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O -------→ H₃O⁺ + PO₄³⁻


Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two basic types of acids organic and inorganic acids. Inorganic acids are sometimes referred to as mineral acids. ... An inorganic anhydride is an oxide of metalloid which can combine with water to form an inorganic acid. Example: Lactic acid, Acetic acid, Formic acid.
