An acid is a substance that will release hydrogen ions (H+) to water or to bases. A monoprotic acid is an acid that has only one hydrogen ion to release per molecule.

They donate one hydrogen ion in solution: HCl is one.

Give an example of a monoprotic acid?

Monoprotic: HCl, CH3COOH (acetic acid)Diprotic: H2SO4, HOOCCOOH (oxalic acid)Triprotic: H3PO4, C3H4OH(COOH)3(citric acid)(All acidic protons are bold)


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.


What would be the pH at the half-equivalence point in titration of a monoprotic acid with NaOH solution if the acid has Ka equals 5.2x10-6?

At 'half way' point the pH is equal to the pKa value of the acid: pH = pKa - log[cA/cB] because at that point cA = cB . So pH = pKa = - log(5.2*10-6) = 5.3


How much acid is required to neutralise pH level11.2?

As many as hydroxide concentration:[OH-] = 10-[14.0-pH] = 10-[14.0-11.2] = 10-2.8 =invlog(-2.8) = 1.6*10-3 mol/LSo, to neutralize you've to add 1.6*10-3 mole strong monoprotic acid (H+) to 1.0 L solution of pH 11.2


How do i calculate pH given the acid constant?

For a weak acid, HA...HA ==> H^+ + A^- Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] Plug these values into the Ka equation. You also must know the [HA] that you start with. Solve for [H+] Take -log [H+] = pH
