what is the acidity of base also name one monobasic dibasic and tribasic bases
Answers
Answer:
What are monobasic acids, dibasic acids and tribasic acids?
Monobasic acids are acids which contain one replaceable hydrogen ion per molecule of the acid or can donate one hydrogen action when completely ionized.
NOTE: ONE replaceable hydrogen ion means that CH3COOH is Monobasic cos it ionizer to give one hydrogen ion in
Ch3cooh→(ch3coo) ¯ + (h) +
It only has one replaceable hydrogen ion not four
Eg. CH3COOH (acetic acid) and hno3 (nitric acid)
Dibasic acids are acids which contain two replaceable hydrogen ions per molecule of the acid or can donate two hydrogen action when completely ionized. Eg. h2so4 (Sulphuric acid)
h2so4+ NaOH→NaHSO4+H2O
NaHSO4 + NaOH→Na2SO4
Tribasic acids are acids which contain three replaceable hydrogen ions per molecule of the acid or can donate three hydrogen action when completely ionized . Eg. H3PO4
H3PO4 + NaOH→NaH2PO4+ H2O
NaH2PO4+ NaOH→Na2HPO4 + H2O
Na2HPO4+ NaOH→Na3PO4+ H2O
What are some examples of monobasic and dibasic acids?
What are some examples of dibasic acids?
What are some examples of dibasic acid and tribasic acid?
Why are monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids (basically all the acids) named "-basic"? What does this mean?
What are some examples of monobasic acids?
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 and HNO3
A dibasic acid is an acid that has two hydrogen cations to donate to a base in an acid-base reaction. Therefore, a dibasic molecule has two replaceable hydrogen atoms.
A tribasic acid is an acid that has three hydrogen ion to donate to a base in an acid base reaction
Therefore, a tribasic molecule has three replaceable hydrogen atoms.
