Q. Species acting both as Bronsted acid and base is

Jharkhand CECEJharkhand CECE 2014

Solution:

$ \text{HSO}_{4}^{-} $ can accept proton to form $ {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} $ and also give a proton to form $ SO_{4}^{2-} $ therefore, it acts both as Bronsted acid as well as base.
