Question

Based on their basicity, acids are classified as:

• A. Organic and inorganic acids.
• B. Strong and weak acids.
• C. Concentrated and dilute acids.
• D. Monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids.

Based on their basicity, acids are classified as monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids. A monobasic acid is an acid that has only one hydrogen ion to donate to a base in an acid-base reaction. Similarly a dibasic acid will donate two and tribasic will donate three hydrogen ions in a reaction.
