what is poly basic acid molecules?

Open in App

Solution

Acids that contain more than one acidic (ionizable) hydrogen (proton) are called polyprotic or polybasic acids. The dissociation of polyprotic acids occurs in a stepwise fashion, one proton lost at a time.
E.g., H₂SO₄ is a dibasic acid while H₃PO₄ is a tribasic acid having two and three ionizable protons respectively.
