What element is present in all acids? What is meant by basicity of an acid
Explain with the help of examples
Answers
hydrogen is present in all acids .Basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions which can be produced by one molecule of acid. e.g. Acetic acid is monobasic in nature as it can lose one proton or hydrogen atom to form acetate ion.
its the answer...
Answer:
An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. ... The word acid comes from the Latin words acidus or acere, which mean "sour," since one of the characteristics of acids in water is a sour taste (e.g., vinegar or lemon juice).
An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond.
Acids and bases can be classified as organic or inorganic. Some of the more common organic acids are: citric acid, carbonic acid, hydrogen cyanide, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid.
An Arrhenius acid is a compound that increases the concentration of H+ ions that are present when added to water. These H+ ions form the hydronium ion (H3O+) when they combine with water molecules. This process is represented in a chemical equation by adding H2O to the reactants side.
