1 The ionization reactions of acids and bases in solvent are proton-transfer reactions. Example:the ionization of HF in water can be represented as HF(aq)=H++F(aq) H++H2O)=H30*(aq) HF(aq)+H2O(1)=H3O(aq)+F(aq) 2Water is an amphiprotic substance,its autoionization is also proton-transfer reaction. H H20)+H20)=H30(aq)+OH-(aq) acid(1) base(2) acid(2) base(1)① The ionization reactions of acids and bases in solvent are proton-transfer reactions.
