Question

Write equations that show the amphoteric species, NH₃ and HSO₄^-, acting as both an acid and a base.

Accepted Answer

HSO₄^- + NH₃ ⇌ SO₄^2- + NH₄⁺

HSO₄^- + NH₃ ⇌ H₂SO₄ + NH₂^-

Answer

HSO₄^- + NH₄⁺ ⇌ SO₄^2- + NH₃

HSO₄^- + NH₃ ⇌ H₂SO₄ + NH₂^-

Answer

HSO₄^- + NH₄ ⇌ SO₄^2- + NH₄⁺

HSO₄^- + NH₂^- ⇌ H₂SO₄ + NH₃
