Answer» ric substance is that substance which has ability to donate as well as accept a Proton.According to Bronsted -Lowry concept,bases STRONGER than water,tend to accept proton from it.Thus by donating proton,water acts as an acid.H₂O + NH₃ <==> OH- + NH₄+While acid stronger than water,like HCl ,tend to donate proton to water.Thus by accepting proton from such strong acids,water acts as base.H₂O + HCl <===> H₃O+ + Cl-Thus water can donate as well as accept proton and show AMPHOTERIC nature.☺☺plzz mark me as Brainliest☺☺If my answer satisfy U. |
