Given below are two statements one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: The amphoteric nature of water is explained by using Lewis acid/base concept
Reason R: Water acts as an acid with NH3 and as a base with H2S.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The correct option is(D): A is false but R is true.
The amphoteric nature of water is explained by using Bronsted-Lowry acid base concept
\(H_2O(acid)+NH_3⇋OH^-+NH_4^+\)
\(H_2O(base)+H_2S⇋H_3O^++HS^-\)
Hence, A is false but R is true.
