Is a solution that yields three protons through ionization a triprotic base? Or would it be a triprotic acid?
Thanks(:

Well I think it's a triprotic acid.

Would the protons be on the left side if it was a base then?

anonymous · Answer

I don't think so. If it yields three protons it means that it's a product, so it's on the right side. I think.

ughhh.

Hey when I googled triprotic there were four google results so I mean

anonymous · Answer

I just don't know if yielding three protons makes it a triprotic base or a triprotic acid.

anonymous · Answer

Once again, acids give off protons (H+)

anonymous · Answer

Yeah I know they do. I just haven't done a lot of studying with polyprotics.

anonymous · Answer

I've never even heard of them before. c:

If it has protons, it's an acid.
