Write redox reaction between fluorine and water.
Fluorine is a strong oxidising agent, it oxidises $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ to $\mathrm{O}_2$ or $\mathrm{O}_3$. The reactions are as follows
$$\begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{~F}_2(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_2(g)+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+4 \mathrm{~F}^{-}(a q) \\ 3 \mathrm{~F}_2(g)+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_3(g)+6 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+6 \mathrm{~F}^{-}(a q) \end{aligned}$$
Write two reactions to explain amphoteric nature of water.
Water has the ability to act as an acid as well as base, i.e., it behaves as an amphoteric substance. From the Bronsted Lowry theory, it acts as an acid with $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and a base with $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{NH}_4^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \\ & \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{HS}^{-}(a q)\end{aligned}$
The auto - protolysis (self-ionisation) of water takes place. The reaction are as follows
$$\underset{\text { Acid }}{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)}+\underset{\text { Base }}{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}(l) \longrightarrow \underset{\begin{array}{c} \text { Conjugate } \\ \text { acid } \end{array}}{\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}}(a q)+\underset{\begin{array}{c} \text { Conjugate } \\ \text { base } \end{array}}{\mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})}$$
