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-

Is sulfurous acid a strong or weak acid or base?
Sulfurous acid H2SO3 is a weak di-protic acid.
Which of the following carbon skeletons represents a carboxylic acid?
Mono-protic carboxylic acids are generally represented as R-COOH
Why you add acetic acid in bromination?
acetic acid is a polar protic solvent. protic solvents have highly developed structures held together with H-bonds.smaller ion like F- can fit easily into these cages and becomes less nucleophile. while larger anion like, Br-can't fit and remains as anion. so becomes more available nucleophiles for attck in reaction.

What is a list of natural polymers?
deoxyribonucleic acid, poly-peptide, Polyethylene,Polypropylene, Polyurethane, Nylon Ribonucleic acid

Give an example of tri protic acid?
give me the example of tri
What does a dripotic acid mean?
A di-protic acid typically contains two H+ ions. An example would be H2SO4
Is poly and mono an acid?
of course
Which of the following carbon skeletons represents a carboxylic acid?
Mono-protic carboxylic acids are generally represented as R-COOH
Is it hard to recycle poly lactic acid?
Recycling of poly lactic acid is a detailed process. Two routes to selective chemical recycling of PLLA and PE are tested in the process.
Is poly phosphoric acid different from phosphoric acid?
I don't think so.poly phosphoric acid and phosphoric acid have same moleculer structure.http://harvestchem.iblogger.org

Is phosphoric acid stronger than citric acid?
Citric acid is the stronger acid of the two because the molecule has three acid groups as opposed to malic acid which has only two. Citric acid will therefore dissociate more easily. From personal experience, malic acid is the more strongly flavoured though!
