Question

The Sulphuric acid (H,SO.) is
(a) monobasic (b) dibasic
(c) tribasic (d) none of the​

Answer 1

H2SO4 is a dibasic acid..

Answer 2

The sulfuric acid is dibasic.

• Acid can donate its proton or hydrogen ion.
• Sulfuric acid dissociates as follows-
• $H_2SO_4\rightarrow H^++HSO_4^-$.
• Thus in the first dissociation sulfuric acid produces a proton.
• In the second dissociation, sulfuric acid produces another proton and sulfate ion as follows-
• $HSO_4^-\rightarrow H^++SO_4^{2-}$.
• So, sulfuric acid act as a dibasic acid.
• Hence the correct option is b.
