Answer on Question #44399 – Chemistry – Other
−)
Question
is amphiprotic. Write another equation showing how it acts
The hydrogen oxalate ion (HC2O4
as a base toward water.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
Answer
According to the Brønsted–Lowry theory, an acid is a species able to lose, or "donate" a proton
(H+) while a base is a species with the ability to gain, or "accept," a proton.
The hydrogen oxalate ion can gain a proton acting as a base towards water, while the latter
donates proton acting as an acid:
HC2O4− + HOH → HC2O4H
