Solution
On the basis of their basicity, acids are classified as monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids.
Monobasic Acid: - It is an acid which dissociates to give one hydrogen ion per molecule in a solution.
E.g. HCl, HNO3.
Dibasic Acid: - It is an acid which dissociates to give two hydrogen ions per molecule in a solution.
E.g. H2SO4,H2CO3.
Tribasic Acid: -It is an acid which dissociates to give three hydrogen ions per molecule in a solution.
E.g. H3PO4.
