In the case of non-HBD solvents, such as DMSO, the measured pK values are absolute (that is, free from ion pairing) and can be directly compared with gas-phase acidities6 in addition, knowledge of the heats of ionization in DMSO7 allows the evaluation of a possible entropy effect when the two phases are compared. The mechanism of proton transfer between oxygen and nitrogen acids and bases in aqueous solution has been reviewed8. 

The basic criterion for distinguishing acids and bases in aqueous solutions is the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. When an acid dissolves in water, the water acts as a base and accepts protons to form the hydronium ion. Water acts as an acid to produce hydroxide ions when it donates protons to a base dissolved in water. While we can considered water to be amphoteric when it interacts with other acids and bases, we can also consider pure water to be both an acid and base. The reason for this is that water itself actual dissociates to a very... 

The subject of acids and bases is very extensive. The discussion in this book is restricted to the definitions of acids and bases in aqueous solutions and their applications to the nature of ions in aqueous solutions and their stabilities. The two main definitions are those accredited to... 

In Chapter 16, we apply the fundamental general equilibrium expression to gaseous equilibrium reactions. In this chapter, we apply the same expression to the equilibria that involve weak acids and bases in aqueous solution, the principal difference being that all concentrations are expressed in moles/liter (rather than in atmospheres as for gases). All the general conclusions given in Chapter 16, and summarized in the principle of Le Chatelier, apply to equilibria in solutions as well as to those in gases.
