Open in App
Solution

Part 1: Basicity of Acetic acid CH3COOH:-

  1. The amount of replaceable hydrogen atoms contained in a molecule of acid is known as the basicity of that acid.
  2. As a result, a monobasic acid has only one replaceable hydrogen atom in its molecule and has a basicity of one.
  3. Acetic Acid has a total of 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 carbon atoms in its molecule.
  4. It only has one replaceable hydrogen ion present. As a result, there is just one ionizable H+ ion, and its basicity is 1.

Therefore, the basicity of Acetic acid is 1
