A proton transfer reaction can occur when a carbonyl compound is placed in an aqueous acidic solution. Water and a charged conjugate acid are produced. The resulting organic compound is resonance stabilized.

A proton transfer reaction can occur when a carbonyl compound is placed in an aqueous acidic solution. Water and a charged conjugate acid are produced. The resulting organic compound is resonance stabilized. Draw the curved arrows for the proton transfer and draw both resonance-stabilized organic products in the appropriate boxes. Be sure to include all lone pairs and nonzero formal charges. Do not draw the water product.
