Amphoteric substances have the ability to act as both acids and bases depending on the conditions. They can donate or accept protons in a chemical reaction. Examples include water and amino acids.
When an acid and a base undergo neutralization, the two substances formed are water and a salt.
Acid: Vinegar, Citrus juice, Hydrochloric acid, Sulfuric acid..... Base: Lye, Baking soda...
Sand is neither a base nor an acid; it is a neutral substance. It is mostly composed of silica (SiO2) and does not possess the characteristics of an acid or a base.
Litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and red cabbage juice are substances that change color in response to changes in acidity or basicity. Litmus paper turns red in acid and blue in base, phenolphthalein is colorless in acid and pink in base, and red cabbage juice turns red in acid and blue in base.
A chemical species that behaves both as an acid and as a base is called an "Amphoteric species".Examples :H2O acts as an acid as well as a base.
When an acid and a base undergo neutralization, the two substances formed are water and a salt.

acid and alkaline
Having the characteristics of an acid and a base and capable of reacting chemically either as an acid or a base.
acid + base = salt + water

Sand is neither a base nor an acid; it is a neutral substance. It is mostly composed of silica (SiO2) and does not possess the characteristics of an acid or a base.
A base is the opposite of an acid. Why? Because an acid can donate a hydrogen ion while a base accepts, or takes, a hydrogen ion from other substances. Therefore, if you mix them you will get a neutral result.
Water and food coloring are neutral in terms of acidity or basicity. Both substances do not have any acidic or basic characteristics.
Litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and red cabbage juice are substances that change color in response to changes in acidity or basicity. Litmus paper turns red in acid and blue in base, phenolphthalein is colorless in acid and pink in base, and red cabbage juice turns red in acid and blue in base.
