Solution

An acid is a substance in which the only positive ion is hydrogen.

A dibasic acid is a substance that produces two hydrogen ions, H+ per molecule of acid, when it gets completely dissociated in water. For example, Sulfuric acid H2SO4.

The chemical equation is as follows:

H2SO4aq2H+aq+SO42-aq
