Re: Amphiprotic [ENDORSED]
Several, any of the polyprotic acids or bases that have released or taken up one proton and could take up another proton or release the proton they have.
E.g., HSO4- which can become H2SO4 or SO42-
If I have time in class this week I will discuss examples.

Re: Amphiprotic
An additional amphiprotic substance is hydrogen carbonate ion HCO3-
It can either donate its hydrogen to become CO3 (2-) or accept another hydrogen to become H2CO3

Re: Amphiprotic
There are other molecules that are amphiprotic besides water, which include the hydrogen carbonate ion, hydrogen sulfate ion, and the dihydrogen phosphate ion.

Re: Amphiprotic
Amphiprotic is the ability of a molecule to both accept and donate protons.
Amphoteric is the ability of a molecule to react with both acids and bases.
See page 469 in the textbook.
