When writing the 2 reaction equations for the amphoteric compound, HCO3-, is the equation where it acts as a base reacting with a hydronium ion or water?

The bicarbonate ion will react with a H30+ when it is acting like a base to make carbonic acid and water.

HCO3- will be reacting with water and will pull and accept a proton from the water atom so the products/other side of the equilibrium will be H2CO3 and OH-.
