    In Bronsted acid base theory,

    acids are proton (H+) donors

    bases are proton (H+) acceptors.

    At the reaction, CH3OH (methly alcohol) donates one H + to OH - ions (hydroxide). So that OH - becomes H2O with an extra H atom. (+) charge neutralizes (-) charge of ion. Notice that H2O is neutral.

    Since CH3OH lose one positive H atom, it becomes CH3O-.

    Donor is CH3OH, so it is the acid and its conjugate base is CH3O-

    Acceptor is OH-, so it the base and its conjugate acid is H2O.
