Three. Sometimes the formula is written H3C6H5O7 to indicate that.

How many protons can be lost by acetic acid HC2H3O2?
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.
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 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.
In the Krebs cycle what molecules acquires most of the energy that is released by the oxidation of acetyl CoA and how many of these molecules are produced during each turn if the cycle?
Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle. The citric acid cycle begins with acetyl-CoA transferring its two-carbon acetyl group to the four-carbon acceptor compound (oxaloacetate) to form a six-carbon compound (citrate). The citrate then goes through a series of chemical transformations, losing first one, then a second carboxyl group as CO2. The carbons lost as CO2 originate from what was oxaloacetate, not directly from acetyl-CoA. The carbons donated by acetyl-CoA become part of the oxaloacetate carbon backbone after the first turn of the citric acid cycle. Loss of the acetyl-CoA-donated carbons as CO2 requires several turns of the citric acid cycle. However, because of the role of the citric acid cycle in anabolism, they may not be lost since many TCA cycle intermediates are also used as precursors for the biosynthesis of other molecules.[4] Most of the energy made available by the oxidative steps of the cycle is transferred as energy-rich electrons to NAD+, forming NADH. For each acetyl group that enters the citric acid cycle, three molecules of NADH are produced. Electrons are also transferred to the electron acceptor FAD, forming FADH2. At the end of each cycle, the four-carbon oxaloacetate has been regenerated, and the cycle continues
What is the species that remains when an acid has lost a proton in a conjugate?
Conjugate acid
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 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.
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
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 are present in one iron(III)?
One iron(III) ion has 26 protons. The atomic number of iron is 26, and the Roman numeral "III" indicates that the ion has a +3 charge, which means it has lost 3 electrons and retained its 26 protons.
