CONT

The equation [in which A and B + H[plus] are involved in a reversible chemical reaction], used in the ... Bronsted-Lowry definition, does not represent a reaction that can be observed in practice, since the free proton, H[plus]+, can be observed only in gaseous systems at low pressures. In solution, the proton always is attached to some other species, commonly a solvent molecule.
