tribasicadj.

Brit.

/trʌɪˈbeɪsɪk/, U.S.

/traɪˈbeɪsɪk/

Etymology: < Greek τρι-, tri- comb. form + βάσις base + -ic suffix.

Chemistry.

Having three bases.

1. Of an acid: Having the property of exchanging three atoms of hydrogen for three of potassium or sodium, and thus forming a salt; e.g. phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄, which reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, forming trisodium phosphate, Na₃PO₄. Of a salt: Containing three molecules of the basic oxide; e.g. tribasic lead acetate.In the first half of the 19th cent., the acid oxide was considered to be the acid itself (not as now when acid means the compound of this oxide with water), and tribasic acid was applied to an oxide which united with three equivalents of base to form a salt: hence the name.
