Give an example of a monoprotic acid, a diprotic acid, and a triprotic acid.

Short Answer

Expert verified
An example of a monoprotic acid is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), an example of a diprotic acid is Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), and an example of a triprotic acid is Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4).

Step by step solution

01

Monoprotic acid

Monoprotic acids are those that only have one proton to donate. A common example is Hydrochloric Acid (\(HCl\)). Hydrochloric acid is a strong monoprotic acid, meaning it fully dissociates in water to give one hydrogen ion (proton) and one chloride ion.
02

Diprotic Acid

Diprotic acids are those that can donate two protons. A well-known example is Sulfuric Acid (\(H_2SO_4\)). Sulfuric acid is a strong acid that can fully dissociate in water into two hydrogen ions and one sulfate ion.
03

Triprotic Acid

Triprotic acids are acids that can donate three protons. A common example is Phosphoric Acid (\(H_3PO_4\)). Phosphoric acid can dissociate in water into three hydrogen ions and one phosphate ion.

Calculate the volume in \(\mathrm{mL}\) of a solution required to provide the following: (a) \(2.14 \mathrm{~g}\) of sodium chloride from a \(0.270 \mathrm{M}\) solution, (b) \(4.30 \mathrm{~g}\) of ethanol from a \(1.50 M\) solution, (c) 0.85 g of acetic acid ( \(\left.\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\right)\) from a \(0.30 \mathrm{M}\) solution.

A 0.8870 -g sample of a mixture of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) and \(\mathrm{KCl}\) is dissolved in water, and the solution is then treated with an excess of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) to yield \(1.913 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{AgCl}\). Calculate the percent by mass of each compound in the mixture.

Which of the following processes will likely result in a precipitation reaction? (a) Mixing a \(\mathrm{NaNO}_{3}\) solution with a \(\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\) solution. (b) Mixing a \(\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\) solution with a \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) solution. Write a net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction.

Describe the basic steps involved in gravimetric analysis. How does this procedure help us determine the identity of a compound or the purity of a compound if its formula is known?
