Define the term basicity' of an acid. Give the basicity of nitric acid, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid.
Ans : 4 Basicity: The basicity of an acid is defined as the number of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) that can be produced by the ionization of one molecule of that acid in aqueous solution.
The basicity of following compounds are:
Nitric acid: Basicity = 1
Sulphuric acid: Basicity = 2
Phosphoric acid: Basicity = 3
