Consider the following equilibrium:

$N H_{3} + N H_{3} ⇌ N H_{4}^{+} + {N H_{2}}^{-}$

Explain how $N H_{3}$ is amphiprotic ?

Open in App

Solution

Amphiprotic compounds can accept as well as donate protons.

$N H_{3} + N H_{3} ⇌ N H_{4}^{+} + N H_{2}^{-}$

Based on the above equilibrium, $N H_{3}$ is amphiprotic because it can accept as well as donate protons.
