What is a dibasic acid and a diacidic base?

Charles Grierson  Follow

DIBASIC ACIDS : acids which on ionisation in water produce two hydronium ions (H3O+ ions) per molecule of the acid . Ex - H2SO4 .

DIACIDIC BASE : a base that dissociates in molten or aqueous solutions to produce two hydroxyl (OH-ions) per molecule of that base . Ex - Ca(OH)2 .

*DIBASIC ACID*

It is an acid which releases its 2 H+ ions (Di) in its aqueous solution eg. H2SO4

*DIACIDIC BASE*

It is a base which releases its 2 OH- ions in its aqueous solution. Eg. Mg(OH)2; Ca(OH)2

Hope it helps!
