Dibasic Acid/
Diprotic Acid
An
dibasic acid is an acid which has two hydrogen ions (H+cations
or protons)
to be donated to a base during a neutralisation reaction.
Also known as a diprotic acid, such an acid ionises in water to produce two hydrogen ions (H+cations or two protons).
Examples of diprotic acids include
o sulphuric acid H2SO4
o carbonic acid H2CO3
