Chapter 16, Problem 63E

For each of the blowing ions, write two equations— one showing its ionization as an acid and the other as a base (a) ${\text{HSO}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{-}}$ ; (b) ${\text{HS}}^{-}$ (C) ${\text{HPO}}_{\text{4-}}$ . Then use data from Table 16.5 to predict whether each eon makes the solution acidic or basic.
