Species acting as both Bronsted acid and...

Species acting as both Bronsted acid and base is:

A

`HSO_(4)^(-)`

B

`Na_(2)CO_(3)`

C

`NH_(3)`

D

`OH^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`HSO_(4)^(-)` can accept and donate a proton. `HSO_(4)^(-)+H^(+)rarr H_(2)SO_(4)^(-),HSO_(4)^(-)rarrH^(+)+SO_(4)^(2-)`
Note :Answer could also be `NH_(3)` or `OH^(-)`.
