Monoprotic vs Polyprotic Acids and Bases

An acid is capable of donating only one proton is called WHAT

Monoprotic

eg) HCl(aq), HNO3(aq), HOCl(aq)

If an acid can transfer more than one proton, it is called WHAT (WHAT of 2 protons, WHAT if 3 protons)

If an acid can transfer more than one proton, it is called POLYPROTIC (DIPROTIC of 2 protons, TRIPROTIC if 3 protons)

If the proton (H) os attached to two O’s (OO) then the proton (H) is an WHAT meaning that proton counts as an H when figuring out if it’s monoprotic or polyprotic

If the proton (H) os attached to two O’s (OO) then the proton (H) is an ACID meaning that proton counts as an H when figuring out if it’s monoprotic or polyprotic

A base that can accept only one proton is called WHAT

A base that can accept only one proton is called MONOPROTIC BASE

A base that can accept more than one proton is called WHAT (WHAT or WHAT)

A base that can accept more than one proton is called POLYPROTIC (DIPROTIC or TRIPROTIC)

PO4 3- can accept up to HOW MANY (H+) to form WHAT, WHAT or WHAT

PO4 3- can accept up to 3 (H+) to form HPO4 2- , H2PO4 1- or H3PO4

Reactions involving polyprotic acids or polyprotic basic substances involve the same principles of WHAT

Reactions involving polyprotic acids or polyprotic basic substances involve the same principles of REACTION PREDICTION

Only WHAT is transferred at a time and always form strongest acid to strongest base

Only ONE PROTON is transferred at a time and always form strongest acid to strongest base

You add all reactions together only if WHAT

You add all reactions together only if QUANTATIVE
