The formula for a common polyprotic acid, like sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or carbonic acid, typically includes multiple hydrogen atoms that can each be ionized to release protons in solution. These acids can donate multiple protons in a stepwise manner, leading to their classification as polyprotic.
No, acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is a monoprotic acid because it can donate only one proton (H+) per molecule in a chemical reaction. Polyprotic acids can donate more than one proton.
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.
To effectively solve polyprotic acid problems, one should first identify the number of acidic hydrogen atoms in the acid. Then, calculate the equilibrium concentrations of each protonated form of the acid using the acid dissociation constants (Ka values). Finally, use the mass balance and charge balance equations to determine the concentrations of all species in the solution.
The common chemical formula for carbonic acid is H2CO3. It can also be represented as CO2(aq) + H2O ⇌ H2CO3.
acetic acid is commonly known as vinegar chemical formula is CH3COOH or C2H4O2

Because KOH is potassium hydroxide, you can recall that in biology you must have learned about H+ being and acid and OH- being a base and K(OH) contains the one hydroxide making it a base, not an acid.

HCl is hydrochloric acid HI is hydroiodic acid HF is hydrofluoric acid H2SO4 is sulfuric acid HNO3 is nitric acid HBr is hydrobromic acid HClO4 is perchloric acid
The acid with the formula H3PO5 is called phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is a polyprotic acid, meaning it can donate more than one proton in a chemical reaction. Its chemical structure consists of one central phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms and three hydrogen atoms.
Formic Acid is the archaic common name. Its modern IUPAC name is Methanopic Acid. The formula is HCOOH
Phosphoric acid is not considered an ionic compound because it is a polyprotic acid with covalent bonds. It has the chemical formula H3PO4 and is commonly used in industries like food processing and agriculture.
A polyprotic acid can (in a multi-step reaction) donate more than one proton per molecule of acid.E.g. phosphoric acid can do 'the trick' three times:H3PO4 --> H+ + H2PO4-H2PO4- --> H+ + HPO42-HPO42- --> H+ + PO43-
