Question

An acid which furnishes two $H^{+}$ ions per molecule is called ________ acid.

• A. monobasic
• B. dibasic
• C. tribasic
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B dibasic

Acids have a property to release hydrogen ion $H^{+}$ in a solution medium.

The acids that release a single hydrogen ion per molecule are known as monobasic acid, the acids that release two hydrogen ions per molecule are known as dibasic acid, the acids that release three hydrogen ions per molecule are known as tribasic acids.

Since, the acid that releases two Hydrogen ions $\left(2H^{+}\right)$ per molecule is known as dibasic acid, the correct answer is option (B).
