Why can water act as both an acid and base?

Answered by admin @ 04/08/2021

This means the water is donating the hydrogen ion, which classifies it as an acid using the Brønsted concept. Good! As these two reactions show, water can act as an acid or a base; molecules (or ions) that can do this are called amphiprotic. When an amphiprotic molecule (or ion) reacts with an acid, it acts as a base.
