Water

[Dhwani Krishnan 1G]

Does water have a neutral pH because it can act as an acid or base depending on the situation?

[Akhil Paladugu 3G]

Depending on the circumstances, H2O can act as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base. Water is not the only substance that can react as an acid in some cases or a base in others, but it is certainly the most common example. A substance that can either donate or accept a proton, depending on the circumstances, is called an amphiprotic compound.

[Jaqueline Monreal 2L]

Water is neutral because it can both receive an proton (act as base) and give a proton (act as acid )

[Jaedyn_Birchmier3F]

Water is known as an amphoteric compound as it has both acidic and basic character. Depending on the situation it can act as an acid or a base.

[Richard Ku 4H]

It's neutral because it is amphoteric and can accept or donate a proton
