Question

write chemical equations to show the amphoteric nature of water

Answer 1

A substance is termed amphoteric if it can show both, the acidic and basic behaviour Water is an amphoteric substance. It has the ability to act as an add as well as a base.


Answer 2

Answer:H2O(l)+H2S(g) equilibrium with H3O(AQ)+Hs(AQ)

And

2H2O gives H3O+OH

Explanation:amphoteric nature of water is represented by following chemical reactions

(1)water as a base:

H2O(l)+ H2S equilibrium with H3O (AQ)+Hs(AQ)

(2)Self ionization of water in which water simultaneous act as aside and base

2H2O gives H3O+OH
