d) H2O

e) All of these are amphiprotic

Solutions

Expert Solution

answer : e) All of these are amphiprotic

Explanation :

An amphiprotic molecule or ion can either donate or accept a proton, thus acting either as an acid or a base.

Examples : Water, amino acids,HCO3- and HSO4- ions common examples of amphiprotic species.

HSO4- + H+ ----------------> H2SO4

base acid

HSO4- ----------------> SO42- + H+

acid base

here this act as both acid and base. so this is amphiprotic
