Definition

basicity is the number of hydrogen ions produced when 1 molecule of acid ionized in aqueous solution. #ChemistryDefinitions

3 groups of acids based on their basicity:

  1. Monobasic (1 molecule of monobasic acid will ionize in aqueous solution to produce 1 hydrogen ion)
  2. dibasic(1 molecule of dibasic acid will ionize in aqueous solution to produce 2 hydrogen ions)
  3. tribasic(1 molecule of tribasic acid will ionize in aqueous solution to produce 3 hydrogen ions)

Monobasic acids: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ethanoic acid

Dibasic acids: sulfuric acid, carbonic acid

Tribasic acid: phosphoric acid
