Autoprotolysis

Transfer of a proton between identical molecules

In chemistry, autoprotolysis is a chemical reaction in which a proton is transferred between two identical molecules, one of which acts as a Brønsted acid, releasing a proton which is accepted by the other molecule acting as a Brønsted base. For example, water undergoes autoprotolysis in the self-ionization of water reaction. It is a type of molecular autoionization.2 H2O ⇌ OH− + H3O+
