Acid and base proton transfer

Once you become proficient at identifying conjugate acid-base pairs it is not difficult to write equations for reactions involving Br0nsted-Lowry acids and bases (proton-transfer reactions). 

In these equilibria, A is the conjugate base of the acid HA, and BH+ is the conjugate acid of the base B. Even in the absence of added acids and bases, proton transfer occurs between water molecules, and the autoprotolysis equilibrium ... 

For oxygen and nitrogen acids and bases, proton transfer with solvent participation is very common. Typical results for symmetrical proton transfer (from an acid to its conjugate base) in water and methanol are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Further results, including reactions in t-butyl alcohol-water mixtures, anhydrous t-butyl alcohol, and anhydrous acetic acid, will be described later.
