Chemistry 2213a fall 2012 western university. One of the most important classes of reactions in chemistry and biology is the. Br nsted-lowry acid-base reaction, which is a proton-transfer reaction. For example, caffeine can be protonated by the acid in the stomach. According to the br nsted-lowry definition of acids and bases, acids are proton donors, and bases are proton acceptors.

If one of these is water (an amphiprotic species), we would more properly write: In the above, the acid and the base are shown as neutrally charged species, but they do not need to be neutrally charged: use of arrows. Proton-transfer reactions involve the movement of pairs of electrons. In organic chemistry, the movement of a pair of electrons is shown using a curved arrow that depicts the origin and the destination of the electrons.
