(i) an acid,
(ii) abase,
(iii) an oxidizing agent,

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To demonstrate that water can act as an acid, a base, and an oxidizing agent, we can provide one reaction for each case as follows: ### (i) Water as an Acid: When water acts as an acid, it donates a proton (H⁺) to a base. A common reaction is with ammonia (NH₃): **Reaction:** \[ \text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{NH}_4^+ + \text{OH}^- \] ...
