Hence, reversible acid-base equilibria can usually be established very rapidly, and the resulting conjugate acids ... then frequently offer favorable paths for the overall chemical reaction.

CONT

L'eau est en effet un ampholyte capable aussi bien de capter un proton fourni par un acide que de céder un proton à une base; elle peut réagir comme base, et son acide conjugué est l'ion H3O+; mais elle peut réagir comme acide, et sa base conjuguée est alors l'ion OH-.
