Q

What does it mean to be Amphoteric?

A

An amphoteric substance is a substance that can act as both an acid and a base. All conjugate acid-base pairs are amphoteric.

Q

What are Conjugate Acid-Base pairs?

A

These are acid-base pairs that are, firstly, amphoteric, and secondly, they differ by one proton.

Q

What do we mean when we say water is capable of Self-Ionization?

A

Water can be both a base and an acid and can react with itself to form low concentrations of the ions OH—and H3O+.
