Dibasic

Dibasic is a term used in chemistry to describe a substance that can donate two hydrogen ions per molecule in an acid-base reaction. Dibasic substances are also known as diprotic substances.

Overview

In the context of biochemistry, dibasic amino acids are those that have two amino groups that can donate hydrogen ions. Examples of dibasic amino acids include lysine, arginine, and histidine. These amino acids play crucial roles in various biological processes, including protein synthesis and cell signaling.

In inorganic chemistry, dibasic substances include certain types of salts and acids. For instance, sulfuric acid is a dibasic acid because it can donate two hydrogen ions. Similarly, calcium chloride is a dibasic salt because it can accept two hydrogen ions.

Applications

Dibasic substances have a wide range of applications in various fields. In medicine, dibasic amino acids are used in the production of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. In industry, dibasic acids are used in the manufacture of plastics, detergents, and textiles.
