Monoprotic?
What does the term monoprotic mean? For example, If the Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 8.6×10−6...

Ok, that makes sense! What does that mean for our chemical reaction though since we aren't given any info about the products or reactants besides it's monoprotic?

Re: Monoprotic?
I think "monoprotic" is just the textbook's way of specifying that we are dealing with one reaction, compared to "polyprotic" acids that can donate more protons.
For the Achieve problems, you may need to solve for other constants using the ones you are given. I have been using the given Kb's to solve for Ka of acidic solutions, and vice versa, with the relation Ka * Kb = Kw (the autoprolysis constant, relevant for solving conjugate acid-base pair problems).

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that the acid donates only one hydrogen ion to a solution. Examples of monoprotic acids are HCl and HNO3 since they only have one hydrogen ion to donate.

Re: Monoprotic?
In topic 6D of the textbook there is general equation provided for weak acids. The reactants would be HA and H2O and the products would be H3O+ and A-. You would subsequently set up an ICE table and solve from there. And people are right, monoprotic means one proton is released.
Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that the acid only donates one proton. This is most acids I think but certain acids like H2SO4 can donate 2 protons and are referred to as polyprotic acids.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that it can only deprotonate once. An example of this is HCl, once it loses the H and becomes Cl-, it has no other H to lose meaning that the original compound, HCl, is monoprotic.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic has to do with acidic hydrogen. For example, a compound that is monoprotic has only one acidic hydrogen. On the other hand, diprotic compounds two acidic hydrogens, and so on. Furthermore, if a compound is a monoprotic acid then it is capable of only donating one proton per molecule. I hope this helps!

Re: Monoprotic?
This just means that it is able to donate one proton or H+. I noticed in the achieve questions this week, the equations were mostly HA <--> H+ + A- or monoprotic.

Re: Monoprotic?
If an acid is monoprotic, it just means that each molecule in the acid gives off only a single proton.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic indicates that the acid can only give off one proton/H+ during a reaction to form H3O+. Hope that helps!

Re: Monoprotic?
When an acid is monoprotic, it means that it can only give off one H+ ion in a reaction. Just think of it as mono = one = one H+.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that the acid had one proton that is can release to form hydronium ions.

Re: Monoprotic?
Are monoprotic acids often used in our calculations to maintain a 1:1 molar ratio between the reactants and products for the ICE box?

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic simply means that the acid donates only one proton or hydrogen atom per molecule to an aqueous solution.

Hi, monoprotonic means that the acid is capable of releasing only one H+ ion per molecule.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that the acid only donates one H+ (or proton) per molecule. For example, HCl is a monoprotic acid as only 1 H+ is donated for every 1 Cl molecule.
Re: Monoprotic?
Hello!
Monoprotic means that only one proton per molecule can be released. One H+/ proton is donated by the acid.
EX: HNO3 is an example of a monoprotic acid!
I hope this helped!

Re: Monoprotic?
A monoprotic acid donates only one proton per molecule to an aqueous solution, hence the prefix "mono."
Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means only able to donate one proton which means there is only one H in the acid.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic just means that the acid only donates one proton in comparison to polyprotic acids which can lose more than one proton
Re: Monoprotic?
We can assume that monoprotic acids (acids with one proton or one hydrogen) take on the general form of HA, and dissociate into H+ and A-.

Monoprotic simply means that an acid only gives off one hydrogen when dissolved in solution. For example, HCl is monoprotic, whereas H2SO4 is not.

Re: Monoprotic?
If there are multiple reactants, could monoprotic mean that each component of the chemical equation give off one proton?

Re: Monoprotic?
It just means that it only releases one H+ ion per molecule, hence the 'mono' (one).
Re: Monoprotic?
A monoprotic weak acid is a weak acid that has only one (mono) proton (H+) to give off.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic means that it can only release one proton (H+). If you break down the word into "mono" =one, "protic"= dealing with protons, it may be easier to remember this.

Re: Monoprotic?
To say that an acid is monoprotic is state that it is capable of donating one proton when it dissociates.

Re: Monoprotic?
Monoprotic acids are acids that can release only one proton (H+) per molecule. Monoprotic means having only one hydrogen ion to donate to a base in an acid-base reaction.
