Chapter 10, Problem 10.42AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between $monoprotic$ and diprotic acid should be explained with examples.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Acids}$: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry acid}\text{.}$

Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.

Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

$Monoprotic$ Acid: Acid that donates one hydrogen ion.

Diprotic Acid: Acid that donates two hydrogen ions.
