Amphoteric are referred to compounds which can act as both acid as well as base
Well,water is considered as amphoteric
H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl– (here water acts as base)
H2O + NH3 → OH– + NH4+ (water acts as acid)
From this equation we can conclude that:-
When reacting with a stronger acid, water acts as a base and when reacting with a stronger base, it acts as an acid.
