Monobasic Acids also 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 Acids also know as diprotic acids
These 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 Acids also know as triprotic acids
These 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-

Monobasic acid. A monobasic acid is an acid that has only one hydrogen ion to donate to a base in an acid-base reaction. Therefore, a monobasic molecule has only one replaceable hydrogen atom. Examples are HCl, HNO3, HF and HBr.

A tribasic acid is an acid that has threehydrogen ions to donate to a base in an acid-base reaction. Therefore, a tribasic molecule has three replaceable hydrogen atoms. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and citric acid are examples of tribasic acids.
