What does DIACID mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
An acid whose molecule carries two hydrogen atoms that can be replaced by a metal or a base.
In chemistry the prefix di- signals two, and a diacid is therefore an acid that can give up two hydrogen ions in a reaction. Sulfuric acid is the classic example, and many organic acids with two carboxyl groups belong to the same family. Chemists meet the diacid when they study how acids neutralise, because the reaction happens in two steps.
