how is CH3COOH monobasic???????
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
Basicity of an acid is the number of replaceable hydrogen atoms or hydrogen atom that form hydronium ions in solution.
Dissociation of acetic acid is given by CH3COOH(aq) CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)
Acetic acid is monobasic as it has only one hydrogen atom that dissociates in solution.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about monobasic nature if acetic acid.
If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
