What are amphiprotic species? Illustrate with suitable equations.

Amphiprotic species may either gain or lose a proton in a chemical reaction, thus acting as a base or an acid. An example is H 2 O. As an acid:
H 2 O ( a q ) + NH 3 ( a q ) NH 4 + ( a q ) + OH ( a q ) . As a base: H 2 O ( a q ) + HCl ( a q ) H 3 O + ( a q ) + Cl ( a q )
