  "term": "Proton transfer reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction involving the transfer of a proton (H+) from one chemical species, the Brønsted acid, to another, the Brønsted base. This process is the fundamental event in Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory and results in the formation of the conjugate base of the original acid and the conjugate acid of the original base. In aqueous solution, the transfer of a proton between a strong acid and a strong base is typically diffusion-controlled, with rate constants approaching 10^10 to 10^11 L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹.",
