Answer:
In this case, the water molecule acts as an acid and adds a proton to the base. An example, using ammonia as the base, is H2O + NH3 ⇄ OH− + NH4+. Older formulations would have written the left-hand side of the equation as ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH, but it is not now believed that this species exists, except as a weak, hydrogen-bonded complex.
