In autoprotolysis 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.

Auto-protolysis (self-ionization) of wateris a chemical reaction in which twowater molecules react to produce a hydroxide ion (OH ) and a hydronium ion (H 3 O + ). Auto-protolysis of waterindicates its amphoteric nature i.e., its ability to act as an acid as well as a base.
