Hydrogen transfer in protic solvents

Hydrogen transfer in protic solvents describes the tendency for Hydrogen ions to migrate, often spontaneously, creating acids and bases from substances with neutral acidity. == Autoprotolysis == In chemistry, autoprotolysis is a molecular autoionization, a chemical reaction in which a proton is transferred between two identical molecules, one of which acts as a Brønsted acid, releasing a proton that is accepted by the other molecule, which acts as a Brønsted base.
