What is meant when an acid is referred to monoprotic diprotic or triprotic?
monoprotic- an acid that can donate only 1 proton to a base diprotic- an acid that has two ionizable hydrogen atoms in each molecule, such as sulfuric acid
HCO3- is acid or base?
It can be either and acid or a base; since it is capable of either accepting or donating a proton, it depends on the surrounding solution.
What is the chemical symbol for acid and base?
Till date there is no symbol for acid and base but an acid molecule is ending with hydride ion(H negative) and a base is ending with hydroxide ion (OH negative).

Is HPO4 2 acid or base?
It is acid AND base together, at the same time (amphoteric).acid : HPO42- + H2O H3O+ + PO43- pKa = 12.32 (very weak acid)base: HPO42- + H2O OH- + H2PO4- pKb = 6.79 (rather weak base)

removing the my new software from my computer. then after suddenly receive that program from recycle bin. The software is most participator of our computer. Its crates a lot of lose data in computer.
