dibasic's Usage Examples:

Stereo-isomerism may occur: the simplest examples are the dibasic acids, where a cis- (maleinoid) form and a trans- (fumaroid) form have been observed.

Sulphuric acid, being a dibasic acid, forms two series of salts with monovalent metals: an acid sulphate, Mhso 4, and a normal sulphate, M 2 50 4.

Although nominally tribasic the commonest metallic salts are dibasic. Organic ethers, however, are known in which one, two and three of the hydrogen atoms are substituted (Michaelis and Becker, Ber., 1897, 30, p. 1003).

With the anhydrides of dibasic acids it yields fluoresceins (q.v.).

It is a dibasic acid.

It is a colourless solid and behaves as a dibasic acid.

Dibasic acids of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons have the general formula C n H 2 (000H) 2 "; malonic and succinic acids are important members.

When oxidized this aldohexose is first converted into the monobasic galactonic acid, and then into dibasic mucic acid; the latter is optically inactive, so that its configuration must be one of those given in the sixth and seventh columns of the table.

It is very explosive, dissolves readily in water and behaves as a dibasic acid.

Since the free acid would be dibasic, two series of salts exist, namely, the neutral and acid salts.
