Amphiprotic compounds
From Conservapedia
Amphiprotic compounds are compounds which can act as either an acid or a base, depending on the situation.[1] An example is the monoprotic form of sulfuric acid, HSO4-. In highly acidic solutions it can act like a base and gain a hydrogen, becoming H2SO4; in highly basic solutions it can give up its last proton to become SO42-
