it means that water can act as a base or an acid.
No, SO4 2- is not amphiprotic because it can accept but not donate protons. It acts as a base but not an acid in a chemical reaction.
dihydrogen monoxide
H2O is a scientific version for Water, it is on the periodic table :) x
H2O is the chemical formula for water, which is a common compound found on Earth in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms.
The equation h2o(s) heat -> h2o (l) describes the process of solid water (ice) melting into liquid water.
An amphiprotic molecule or ion can act as either an acid or a base. It has the ability to donate or accept a proton depending on the reaction conditions. Water is a common example of an amphiprotic molecule.
H2O can act as both a Brønsted-Lowry acid and base. As an acid, it can donate a proton by giving away a hydrogen ion. As a base, it can accept a proton by taking on a hydrogen ion. This makes H2O amphiprotic.
It is not amphotetic.It a very stron acid.
Amphiprotic is not the same as nuetral. An amphiprotic substance is one which has the characteristics of both an acid and a base, and can act as either depending on which other substance it is placed with. A neutral substance is unreactive.
Yes, H2PO3- is amphiprotic because it can donate and accept protons. It can donate a proton to act as an acid, forming HPO32- or accept a proton to act as a base, forming H3PO3.
Yes, Na2HPO4, known as disodium hydrogen phosphate, can act as a weak acid and donate a proton to a base, behaving as an amphiprotic species. It can also act as a weak base and accept a proton from an acid.
An amphiprotic species is a substance that can both donate and accept a proton (H+). This means it can act as both an acid (donating a proton) and a base (accepting a proton) depending on the reaction conditions. Examples include water and amino acids.
No, SO4 2- is not amphiprotic because it can accept but not donate protons. It acts as a base but not an acid in a chemical reaction.
Water is an amphoteric oxide of hydrogen. More specifically, it is an amphiprotic molecule, having the ability to accept a proton when it reacts with an acid: H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl- or to donate a proton when it reacts with a base: H2O + NH3 → NH4+ + OH-
Ammonia (NH3) --> can become NH2- or NH4+ Water (H2O) --> can become OH- or H3O+
It is acid AND base together, at the same time (amphoteric).acid : HPO42- + H2O H3O+ + PO43- pKa = 12.32 (very weak acid)base: HPO42- + H2O OH- + H2PO4- pKb = 6.79 (rather weak base)
