Question

The basicity of the Ethanoic acid is
1. 1(mono basic
2.2(di basic)
3.3(tri basic)
4.4(tetra basic)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1(mono basic)

The Basicity of an acid refers to "the number of hydrogen atoms replaceable by a base" in one of its molecules. Ethanoic acids contain four hydrogen atoms; however, only the one directly bonded to the oxygen atom in the carboxyl −COOH functional group at the end of the carbon chain participates in acid-base reactions.
