  2. Protic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protic_solvent

    Water is the most common protic solvent. Conversely, polar aprotic solvents cannot donate protons but still have the ... Acetic acid (AcOH) CH 3 CO 2 H: 118 °C 6.2 1 ...

  3. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical source material thereof. The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name , for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid.

  4. Dicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid

    In organic chemistry, a dicarboxylic acid is an organic compound containing two carboxyl groups (−COOH).The general molecular formula for dicarboxylic acids can be written as HO 2 C−R−CO 2 H, where R can be aliphatic or aromatic.

  5. Bjerrum plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjerrum_plot

    Example Bjerrum plot: Change in carbonate system of seawater from ocean acidification.. A Bjerrum plot (named after Niels Bjerrum), sometimes also known as a Sillén diagram (after Lars Gunnar Sillén), or a Hägg diagram (after Gunnar Hägg) [1] is a graph of the concentrations of the different species of a polyprotic acid in a solution, as a function of pH, [2] when the solution is at ...

  6. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    Water, amino acids, hydrogencarbonate ion (or bicarbonate ion) HCO − 3, dihydrogen phosphate ion H 2 PO − 4, and hydrogensulfate ion (or bisulfate ion) HSO − 4 are common examples of amphiprotic species. Since they can donate a proton, all amphiprotic substances contain a hydrogen atom. Also, since they can act like an acid or a base ...

  7. Phosphorous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorous_acid

    This acid is diprotic (readily ionizes two protons), not triprotic as might be suggested by this formula. Phosphorous acid is an intermediate in the preparation of other phosphorus compounds. Organic derivatives of phosphorous acid, compounds with the formula RPO 3 H 2, are called phosphonic acids.

  8. Selenous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenous_acid

    Selenous acid is analogous to sulfurous acid, but it is more readily isolated. Selenous acid is easily formed upon the addition of selenium dioxide to water. As a crystalline solid, the compound can be seen as pyramidal molecules that are interconnected with hydrogen bonds. In solution it is a diprotic acid: [3] H 2 SeO 3 ⇌ H + + HSeO − 3 ...

  9. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also
