    Net ionic equation:

    C₁₈H₂₁O₃N (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ C₁₈H₂₁O₃NH⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq).

    According to Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).

    Codeine (C₁₈H₂₁O₃N) is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid (C₁₈H₂₁O₃NH⁺).

    pKb for codeine is 5.8.
