Monoprotic?

[Mia Glinn 1I]

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

[Matthew Li 1B]

its mean the acid only releases one hydrogen proton per molecule to form H30+

[Connor Davis 2K]

Monoprotic means that the acid is capable of donating one proton H+.

[Mia Glinn 1I]

its mean the acid only releases one hydrogen proton per molecule to form H30+

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?

[Nishan Reddy 3K]

This means that the acid only gives up a single H+ ion per molecule.

[Nancy Romo 1E]

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).

[Amaris Cagungun 1F]

Monoprotic means that the acid donates one hydrogen proton per molecule.

[Preethika Praveen 2G]

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.

[Tyler_Kim_2G]

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.

[Evan L 2B]

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.

[Helen Ringley 2E]

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.

[Clarissa Le 1I]

Monoprotic means that the acid will donate 1 hydrogen proton!

[Konmal Ali 1G]

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!

[almaortega]

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.

[205705413]

A monoprotic acid is an acid that can only give off one proton.

[Daniel Tabibian 3K]

Monoprotic means the acid only releases one H+ ion per molecule in a reaction.

[Amy Huynh 1B]

A monoprotic weak acid is one that is capable of donating 1 H+ ion.

[isabella garcia - 1G]

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

[Shay Crookall 2L]

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

[Allen Lu 2F]

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+.

[Shania Garrison Discussion 3E]

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

[Gabi_Maldonado_1B]

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

[Chelsea Tran 3H]

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

[Madison Kiggins 1E]

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

[Alekhya_Pantula_2E]

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.

[605607825]

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!

[Aaron Kim 1J]

A monoprotic acid donates only one proton per molecule to an aqueous solution, hence the prefix "mono."

[505734174]

Monoprotic means only able to donate one proton which means there is only one H in the acid.

[tristenleem3B]

Monoprotic means it can donate one proton.

[Lauren Wasef 3C]

Monoprotic means that an acid releases one H+ ion per molecule.

[Clayton Dinh 3C]

Monoprotic just means that the acid only donates one proton in comparison to polyprotic acids which can lose more than one proton

[805601399]

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-.

[Jelix Tsan 2H]

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

[Ameerah Hameed 3B]

Monoprotic means the acid can donate one proton (H+) per molecule.

[Caitlin_Doak_2H]

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

[Misha_Khan_2H]

A monoprotic acid means it can release one H+ ion per molecule.

[105778693]

It just means that it only releases one H+ ion per molecule, hence the 'mono' (one).

[405825570]

It means that the acid only releases one H+ ion.

[305597516]

A monoprotic weak acid is a weak acid that has only one (mono) proton (H+) to give off.

[Minh Nguyen 3H]

A monoprotic acid is an acid that only has one acid that it can give off.

[Isabella Perez Dis3L]

Hi, Monoprotic basically means it can only deprotonate once and donate one proton.

[Samantha Toscano 2C]

(Mono) meaning one, means that the weak acid can only donate one proton.

[Jonathan Liu 2I]

Monoprotic means that one H+ gets released whenever the acid dissociates.

[Polo Morales 3C]

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.

[elliemehrara]

A monoprotic acid is one that can only release one proton (H+).

[Mahli Martinez 2I]

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

[Hannah Carsey 1B]

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.

[Jordyn Lee 1J]

Monoprotic refers to an acid donating only one hydrogen proton per molecule.
