What does Monoacid mean?
An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions in water or will donate a hydrogen ion to another molecule. A monoacid, or monoprotic acid, is an acid that can only donate one hydrogen atom per molecule. You can also have diprotic acids, such as sulfuric acid, which can donate two hydrogen ions, and triprotic acids such as phosphoric acid, which can donate three.
What is an acid an alkali and neutral?
Acid: A substance that can donate H+ ions. Alkali: A substance that can donate OH- ions. Neutral: A substance that cannot donate H+ or OH- ions.
What polyatomic ions are in soda?
Soda generally has carbonic acid, H2CO3.
What is an acid that releases few hydrogen ions in aqueous solution?
A weak acid. Carbonic acid, for instance. H2CO3.
Why is H2CO3 a base?
The question is wrong. H2CO3 is formed when we introduce CO2 in water. H2CO3 can't exist in non-aqueous solutions, can't be a solid nor a gas. So we can't dissolve it in water. And H2CO3 is definitely an acid. A weak one, but still an acid.By the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, a conjugate base is a product when an acid dissociates. For carbonic acid, this means that CO3- ions have a probability of acting as a base by taking H+ from hydronium ions in solution.H3O+ + CO32- HCO3- + H2OThis is how an antacid works, for example.This effect is most important for buffer solutions, when a weak acid is mixed with a soluble salt that has the same anion.

is acids and bases are corrosive?
Yes and no. One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+. In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4. So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions. So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to. P.S The number of H's in a molecule often don't help to identify it as a base or an acid.
What are Monoprotic acid?
An acid is a substance that will release hydrogen ions (H+) to water or to bases. A monoprotic acid is an acid that has only one hydrogen ion to release per molecule.
What does the chemical formula H2CO3 tell you about the compound known as carbon acid?
It is an acid because it releases H+ ions when in aqueous solution
What can donate up to 2 hydrogen ions?
A diprotic acid can donate up to two hydrogen atoms.

Any substance that forms hydrogen ions in water is an?
Acids are hydrolized and donate free H+ ions in water.
