Answer:
Autoprotolysis is a reaction in which
two same molecules react to give ions with proton transfer. Water undergoes
autoprotolysis, i.e., a proton from one water molecule is transferred to
another water molecule.
\[{{H}_{2}}O(l)+{{H}_{2}}O(l)\underset{{}}{\leftrightarrows}{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}(aq)+O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\]
On account
of autoprotolysis, water is amphoteric in nature, i.e., it reacts with both
acids and bases.
\[{{H}_{2}}O+N{{H}_{3}}\to
NH_{4}^{+}+O{{H}^{-}}\]
