The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given acids are monobasic, we need to analyze each acid and count the number of replaceable hydrogen ions (H⁺) they contain. An acid is classified as monobasic if it can donate one proton (H⁺) per molecule. Let's analyze each acid one by one: 1. **H₃PO₂ (Phosphorous acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₂ has one hydroxyl group (–OH) and two hydrogen atoms attached to phosphorus. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 1 H⁺ (the one from the –OH group). - **Classification**: Monobasic. 2. **H₃PO₃ (Phosphoric acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₃ has two hydroxyl groups (–OH) and one hydrogen atom attached to phosphorus. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 2 H⁺ (one from each of the two –OH groups). - **Classification**: Dibasic. 3. **H₂CO₃ (Carbonic acid)**: - Structure: H₂CO₃ has two hydroxyl groups (–OH) and can donate two protons. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 2 H⁺. - **Classification**: Dibasic. 4. **H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₄ has two hydroxyl groups (–OH) and can donate two protons. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 2 H⁺. - **Classification**: Dibasic. 5. **H₂S₂O₈ (Peroxydisulfuric acid)**: - Structure: H₂S₂O₈ has two hydroxyl groups (–OH) and can donate two protons. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 2 H⁺. - **Classification**: Dibasic. 6. **H₂CrO₄ (Chromic acid)**: - Structure: H₂CrO₄ has two hydroxyl groups (–OH) and can donate two protons. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 2 H⁺. - **Classification**: Dibasic. 7. **H₃BO₃ (Boric acid)**: - Structure: H₃BO₃ has three hydroxyl groups (–OH) but can only donate one proton. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 1 H⁺. - **Classification**: Monobasic. 8. **HNO₂ (Nitrous acid)**: - Structure: HNO₂ has one hydroxyl group (–OH) and one nitrogen atom. - Replaceable H⁺: It can donate 1 H⁺. - **Classification**: Monobasic. Now, let's summarize the classifications: - Monobasic acids: H₃PO₂, H₃BO₃, HNO₂ - Dibasic acids: H₃PO₃, H₂CO₃, H₂SO₄, H₂S₂O₈, H₂CrO₄ **Total Monobasic Acids**: 3 (H₃PO₂, H₃BO₃, HNO₂) ### Final Answer: **3 monobasic acids.**
