MCQ
The species among the following, which can act as an acid and a base is
  • $HSO_4^ - $
  • B
    $SO_4^{2 - }$
  • C
    ${H_3}{O^ + }$
  • D
    $C{l^ - }$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$HSO_4^ - $
(a) The species which can accept as well as donate ${H^ + }$ can act both as an acid and a base.

$\mathop {HSO_4^ - }\limits_{{\rm{base}}} + {H^ + }⇌ {H_2}S{O_4}$

$\mathop {HSO_4^ - }\limits_{{\rm{acid}}}  ⇌SO_4^{2 - } + {H^ + }$
