Amphoteric
Would we be asked to see how an amphoteric compound will act as an acid or base in water? (pH <,>,= 7) OR do those types of questions just refer to analyzing salts?

Re: Amphoteric
I'm pretty sure amphoteric compounds react depending on the molecules around them and since water is relatively neutral it would be hard to tell. I don't think it will be asked!

Re: Amphoteric
I also don't think it will be asked on the test because it wasn't gone over much in lectures.

Re: Amphoteric
I think one of the TA's said this will be covered in 14B, so we don't have to worry about this right now.

Re: Amphoteric
I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be on the final but it exhibits either acid characteristics or base characteristics depending on what it is being added to.

Re: Amphoteric
This will be more covered in 14B I believe is what Dr. Lavelle was alluding to in the lectures. However, when amphoteric, the compound does have the ability to be an acid or base
