One of the two water molecules acts as an Bronsted-Lowry acid and donates a proton to the other water molecule, which subsequently acts as a Bronsted-Lowry base. Water can act as an acid or as a base in various chemical reactions, the most common two examples involving the ammonia and hydrochloric acid reactions
