Protolys
Protolys is a chemical reaction involving the protolytic dissociation of a molecule. It is a fundamental process in chemistry where a molecule breaks down into simpler components, resulting in the release of protons (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-). This reaction is often referred to as an acid-base reaction.
In a protolytic reaction, an acid donates a proton to a base, resulting in the formation of
Protolysis can be further classified into different types, including protonation and deprotonation. In protonation, a proton
Examples of protolytic reactions include the dissociation of water to form hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions
In chemistry, the protolytic dissociation of a molecule is often studied in terms of its equilibrium constant,
