2019年6月16日 · However, we can broaden this definition further (good for advanced classes). One formal definition is "A chemical species that behaves both as an acid and as a base is called amphoteric. This property depends upon the medium in which the species is investigated: H2SO4 is an acid when studied in water, but becomes amphoteric in superacids."

An amphoteric substance can act both as an acid and a base. That is, an amphoteric substance can donate protons and also accept protons. $\ce{CO3^{-2}}$ does not have any protons so it cannot act as an acid. It is the conjugate base of $\ce{HCO3^{-}}$. $\ce{HPO4^-{2}}$ is the conjugate base of $\ce{H2PO4^{-}}$.

2024年3月30日 · The phrase "amphoteric though mainly acidic" means the species has more of an acidic character than a basic character. the rule of thumb is that with increasing metal oxidation state, the oxide basicity gets weaker and acidity stronger. See: Why is Cr2O3 amphoteric but CrO not? Now focusing on $\ce{V2O5}$. Yes, it is amphoteric but it has a ...

2020年7月29日 · Hence, an amphoteric oxide slightly tending towards the basic end seems reasonable for indium(III) oxide. The reaction between acid and $\ce{In2O3}$ should follow the general scheme that is illustrated above for $\ce{Al2O3}$ and $\ce{HCl}$ , and should yield similar products.

This zwitter ionic form of $$\alpha$$ amino acid shows amphoteric behaviour, i.e. act both as acid and base.

An amphoteric substance is one which can act as an acid as well as a base. Amino acids show amphoteric behavior. Aminoacids are bi-functional molecules. They contain carboxylic (− C O O H) group that acts as an acid and an amino (− N H 2) group that acts as a base.

2014年7月23日 · (A) Why amphoteric (B) How to solve the problem without making unexplained assumptions (C) Why the solution in the book uses the approximate equality $\ce{[H3AsO4]=[HAsO4^{2-}]}$. PART (A) An amphoteric species (molecule or ion) is one that can either gain a proton with relative ease, or lose a proton with relative ease.

2017年1月24日 · Is aluminium amphoteric? Ask Question Asked 8 years, 2 months ago. Modified 3 years, 11 months ago.

2021年7月2日 · I choose the most suitable amphoteric compound in this senario as the neutral precipitate, $\ce{M(H2O)3(OH)3}$ because it can shows the rest of amphoteric compounds in the series. For instance, according to the IUPAC description, this precipitate is an amphoteric compound because it will react with both acids and bases (as Mithoron pointed out ...

S i, G e, S n and P b belongs to group 14, among them S i is the first element and P b is last, hence, oxides of S i are acidic and oxides of P b are basic while G e and S n are amphoteric as they came in middle of group.
