Question

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is diprotic. True or false?

Answer 1

False.

Correction: Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is monoprotic.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid because it is completely dissociated to its ions in the solution.

• But it is a monoprotic acid because it produces 1 mol of H⁺ when it is dissociated. according to the reaction:

HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻.

So, the answer is: False.

• And the correction is:

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is monoprotic.
