Identify the Acid or Base Behavior of Each Substance in These

Multiple Choice

Identify the acid or base behavior of each substance in these reactions: HSO₄^- + $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O ? O $\mathrm { H } ^ { - }$ + $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ S $\mathrm { O } _ { 4 }$

A) HSO₄^- acts as an acid, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O acts as a base,O $\mathrm { H } ^ { - }$ acts as an acid, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ S $\mathrm { O } _ { 4 }$ acts as a base.
B) HSO₄^- acts as an base, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O acts as a acid,O $\mathrm { H } ^ { - }$ acts as an acid, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ S $\mathrm { O } _ { 4 }$ acts as a base.
C) HSO₄^- acts as an acid, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O acts as a base,O $\mathrm { H } ^ { - }$ acts as an base, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ S $\mathrm { O } _ { 4 }$ acts as a acid.
D) HSO₄^- acts as an base, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ O acts as a acid,O $\mathrm { H } ^ { - }$ acts as an base, $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$ S $\mathrm { O } _ { 4 }$
