Is hc2h3o2 a polyprotic acid?
No, monoprotic H3C-COOH
Are all monoprotic acids strong acids?
No. Most monoprotic acids are weak.
Is the enthalpy change of the chemical reaction between a monoprotic acid and sodium hydroxide the same for all strong monoprotic acids?
The reaction that occurs between a strong monoprotic acid and sodium hydroxide is H++OH- => H2O. This reaction is the same for all strong monoprotic acids and sodium hydroxide so, in theory, they should all have the same standard enthalpy of reaction. In practice, there are very slight differences between acids. If you are in a freshman or sophmore chemistry class, say yes. If you are in physical or analytical chemistry say no.
Is acetic acid non polar?
No acetic acid is not polyprotic. Although the multiple Hydrogen's may lead you to believe it is. It is monoprotic due to the fact that only one of those hydrogen's is structually attached to an oxygen. H's bonded to carbons are no protic. The number of hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of acid cannot always be used to classify the acid as mono-, di-, or triprotic. For example, a molecule of acetic acid contains four hydrogen atoms, but it is monoprotic. Only one of the hydrogen atoms in acetic acid is acidic or ionizable.

What are examples of mono basic acids?
HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH, H2BO3H (only the last one written H's are acidic!) also called monoprotic acids.
Does NAOh is a monoprotic base?
It is a strong monoprotic base. Monoprotic means it can accept a proton (and Bronsted-Lowry theory calls proton acceptors BASES) So yes it can accept 1 (mono) proton. Strong acids or bases dissociate completely in aqueous solutions. Therefore this strong monoprotic base would dissociate completely into component ions in solution (this case water) yielding Na+, OH- and H20 (and heat).
Why do monoprotic acidic salts behave as strong acids?
because they dissociate more rapidly and donate hydrogen ion for reduction as soon as it is ionized
What makes something a monoprotic acid?
An acid which has the capability of donating not just one, but TWO H+ to a base during an acid-base reaction. eg. Sulfuric acid and excess water H2SO4 + H2O --> HSO4- + H3O+ THEN: HSO4- + H2O <--> SO4^2- + H3O+ (note the reversible arrow for the second one) POLYPROTIC acids: diprotic - can donate 2 hydrogen cations per molecule triprotic - can donate 3.. etc.
What is a monoprotic base?
A monoprotic base is a molecule that has one functional group that can accept a proton. NaOH for example is a (strong) monoprotic base because it can accept one proton. But amines can also be monoprotic bases.
Does acid dissolve in water?
This depends on how strong the acid is and whether or not it is polyprotic (or has more than 1 Hydrogen) But in general: In water, acids dissolve into the hydronium ion (H3O+) and the conjugate base. The hydronium ion is just an access proton, or Hydrogen (H) without the electron, making it a positive (H+). For example: Hydrochloric acid (a strong, monoprotic acid, formula = HCl) in water looks like: HCl + H20 ---> H3O+ + Cl- Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl. H3O+ has the access H+ ion from the acid.
Which acid has least number of hydrogen ions?
Monoprotic acids only have one ionizable hydrogen ion, if that's what you mean. Examples include HCl, HF, HC2H3O2.
What category of acids are acidic foods?
Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative/conservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, the conjugate base of citric acid, citrate, is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and therefore occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.Citric acid is a commodity chemical, and more than a million tonnes are produced every year by fermentation. It is used mainly as an acidifier and as a flavoring.
