Nevaeh,
Before you get Dr.Bob222 to weigh on in, I want to add a little about amphoteric species. Amphoteric species are those molecules that can react as both an acid and a base. The acid donates H^+, and the base receives the proton(H^+ ion). If the acid loses a proton an H^+, its conjugate base still has a hydrogen atom. H2SO4 is a strong acid that completely disassociates and can only donate protons(its polyprotic. A is not amphoteric
