Yes. A substance with both acidic and basic properties is called an amphoteric substance. Water, while generally regarded as neutral, is actually amphoteric. Sodium bicarbonate is also amphoteric. While it usually acts as a base, it can act as an acid under highly alkaline conditions.

When is a chemical most likely to behave as an acid?
Acid is a major chemical that behaves both as an acid and as a base. Another chemical would be KOH.
When hydrochloride behave as an acid?
When it's mixed with a base
Does nitric acid behave as a base?
Sounds unlikely, since it's an acid, therefore can't be a base which is by definition the opposite of an acid.
Can neutralize a base is this a physical or chemical property?
The neutralization of a base, or an acid for that matter, is a chemical property, because you are reacting the base with an acid to change the base into a different compound. For example: NaOH (a strong base) + HNO3 (a strong acid) ---> NaNO3 + H2O
What is a chemical reaction with an acid base?
bubbles
Can a chemical behave as an acid and a base?

What is a chemical oppisote of a base?
An acid
What type of chemical reacts with acid?
A base will react with an acid.
When does ammonia NH3 behave as a base when it reacts with an acid?
Ammonia NH3 behaves as a base when it reacts with an acid because it accepts a proton and becomes NH4+.

What chemical reaction occurs when an ion from an acid and a base react?
Neutralization of acid with base (or vice verse)
What is an indicator as related to an acid and a base?
It is a substance(chemical or natural) which changes colour in the presence of an acid or base.
Is citric acid an acid or a base?
It is usually straight-forward. If the chemical has acid in it, then it is an acid. So, citric acid, is an acid.
