Re: Defintion
A polyprotic acid is one which can break off a hydrogen ion more than once so if an acid contains more than one hydrogen atoms then it is polyprotic such as H2SO4 or H3PO4

A polyprotic acid is an acid that can donate more than one proton while a polyprotic base can accept more than one proton.

Water is not a polyprotic acid because you would start considering it from H2O and not OH-

But in this case it would have 2 h+ ions to remove. Are we just to assume the oxygen can't loose both hydrogens in water?

Re: Defintion
You know an acid is polyprotic when the acid can donate more than one proton to the solution. Examples would include H2S, H2CO3, H2SO4, etc

an acid is polyprotic if it has multiple hydrogens. For example, H2SO4 can give off an initial H+ and end up as HSO4-. It can also give off a second H+ and end up as a SO42- ion

Re: Defintion
Usually, if a molecule has more than one hydrogen molecule, it means it is polyprotic (I.e. H2SO4) since it shows that they are able to donate more than one proton. Hope that helps!

When a molecule is able to donate multiple protons. Usually happens when there are multiple H+.

Re: Defintion
Polyprotic acids are defined as acids that are capable of losing more than one proton per molecule in acid-base reactions. An example would be (H2CO3) which contains two acidic protons capable of ionizing two H+ atoms per molecule.

Re: Defintion
well a polyprotic acid can break off an H+ ion more than once so when you see an acid consist of more than one H, it can indicated that

Re: Defintion
The main polyprotic acids that we need to know for the test are carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid. It's also important to remember that the intermediate states for any of these compounds can result in that intermediate compound acting amphoteric (having acidic and basic properties). I hope this helps!
Re: Defintion
Polyprotic bases are bases that can accept at least one H+ ion or proton in acid-base reactions while polyprotic acids are acids that are able to donate more than one H+ proton

Re: Defintion
A base or acid is polyprotic when it can surrender (acid) or accept (base) more than one proton. For example, H2SO4 can become HSO4^- which can become SO4^2-.

If it's a base^^. If an acid is polyprotic, it can give up 2+ protons.

Re: Defintion
Something is polyprotic when there are multiple protons (H) available to be deprotonated.

Re: Defintion
In simplistic terms, a polyprotic acid can donate more than one proton and a polyprotic base can accept more than one proton.

Hi, I agree with everyone else, acid is polyprotic when the acid can donate or accept more than one proton. Hope this helps!

Hi, like the others said, a polyprotic acid is one that can donate more than one proton, like H2SO4, H2CO3, and H3PO4

Re: Defintion
Polyprotic just means multiple (poly) protons (protic). Compounds like H2SO4 and H3PO3 are able to donate more than one proton.

Re: Defintion
A polyprotic acid is a type of acid that is capable of losing more than one proton per molecule in acid-base reactions. So basically, acids that have an extra ionizable H+ ion per molecule.

Re: Defintion
When an acid can donate more than one proton, it is considered polyprotic. H2SO4 is an example.

Re: Defintion
You will be able to tell by simply looking at the anion. A polyprotic acid must be able to donate more than one H+ proton. By that, you can look at the anion of the acid to see whether it is polyprotic or not.
