Answer
Polyprotic acids are specific acids that are capable of losing more than a single proton per molecule in acid-base reactions. In other words, polyprotic acids have more than one ionizable $H^+$ atom per molecule. Examples of such acids are:
1. sulfuric acid - $H_{2}SO_{4}$
2. phosphoric acid - $H_{3}PO_{4}$
3. oxalic acid - $(COOH)_{2}$
4. terephthalic acid - $C_{6}H_{4}(COOH)_{2}$
5. hydrogen sulfide - $H_{2}S$
