The simplest type of acid-base reaction can be represented by the general equation:

[ \text{HA} + \text{B} \rightarrow \text{A}^- + \text{HB}^+ ]

In this equation, HA represents an acid that donates a proton (H⁺) to the base B, resulting in the formation of its conjugate base A⁻ and the conjugate acid HB⁺. This transfer of protons is the hallmark of Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.
