Acid-Base Property of Water

A compound like water, H2O, that contains both a hydrogen atom and a lone pair of electrons
can act as an acid or a base, depending on the specific reaction. Compound exhibiting such property is
called amphoteric.

• H2O acts as an acid -When water acts as an acid, it will donate proton to the base.

H2O acts as a base- When water acts as a base, it will accept proton.

Bronsted-Lowry theory,

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a chemical species capable of donating a

proton or hydrogen cation. A base, in turn, is able to accept a proton or hydrogen ion in aqueous
solution. The theory describes acid base interactions in terms of proton transfer between chemical
species.

These results demonstrate the acidic, neutral, or basic nature of the substances tested based on
their pH levels and reactions with litmus paper
 Lemon juice, armpit sweat, coffee, and battery fluid turned blue litmus paper red, suggesting
acidity with pH levels ranging from 3 to 5.
 Mineral water and glucose solutions maintained their blue color or turned red litmus paper
blue, indicating neutrality with a pH of 7
