Malonic acid has pKa values of 2.83 (pK1) and 5.69 (pK2). If malonic esters are used then on treatment with a strong base like sodium ethoxide, the methylene (-CH2-) hydrogen can be deprotonated, but I am not sure if that is possible for malonic acid as that will lead to a tri-anion.

∙ 13y agoOnly one proton can be lost by by acetic acid and i want u to know that the formula of acetic acid is (CH3COOH). It can lose only one proton because it is a monobasic acid.

How many protons can be lost by citric acid H3C6H5O6?
Three. Sometimes the formula is written H3C6H5O7 to indicate that.
Is it true or false in the formation covalent or ionic bonds is it the protons that are shared gained or lost?
False -it is the electrons not the protons.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
Are protons and electrons always equal?
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
How many protons and electrons in a sodium ion?
Sodium ion is Na+. That means it has lost 1 of its electron from the valence shell to make it more stable.The number of protons of an atom or its ion will always be the same because if the number of proton changes the atom will also change. number of protons in Na+ is 11 number of electrons in Na+ is 10 (since it lost its 1 electron to be happy and stable)
Why there is loss in mass reaction of baking soda and acetic acid?
Mass isn't lost, it just escapes as a gas
How ch3 group replace h proton in acetic acid?
I think its through esterification, so react with methanol, CH3OH. The H from your acid should be lost along with the OH in the alcohol as H2O

What is the species that remains when an acid has lost a proton in a conjugate?
Conjugate acid
Why can't oxygen be changed into helium?
Oxygen has 8 protons, helium has 2 protons. To convert oxygen to helium, 6 protons has to be lost by nuclear disintegration which is not possible.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
Which of these particles are lost in the oxidation process protons neutrons electrons atoms?
Electrons are these particles.
What is a nitrogenous waste for chicken?
uric acid, mammals do it in the form of urea, this process is to ensure that little water is lost
What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?
A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.
Are protons and electrons always equal?
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
