    Species acting both as Bronsted acid and base is

    A)  \[HSO_{4}^{-}\]                              

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]                                 

    D)  \[O{{H}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Bronsted acids have a tendency to donate proton while Bronsted base have a tendency of accepting protons. \[\because \] \[HSO_{4}^{-}\] can accept proton to form \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]and also give a proton to form \[SO_{4}^{2-},\] therefore it behaves like both Bronsted acid and Bronsted base.
