  • yea but whats the rule for knowing which one is goin to give up a H+ or take the H+. does it have to do with charges of the ions need for neutrality? because i've noticed that NH3 is positive and takes a positive H ion from water and is a base. But is Instead of NH3 in this example another polyatomic ion such as H2SO4 it would give up its Hion and be labeled as a base. is my understanding of this correct?

  • @Blizzard1822 you need to know which compounds are acids and which are bases. That's how you know what will happen

  • this always looks so easy until i have to do it and then i mess it all up

  • THANKS!

  • why is H2O the acid?

  • it depends on which compound give up the H+.  If water picks up a proton is acts as a base. If it gives up an H+ like it does with NH3 it acts as an acid. I hope this helps you. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your studies.
