How do deprotonation reactions of acids work?

[Louis]

Hi,

I need help in finding some information regarding deprotonation (specifically acids). I know that it is the removal of a hydrogen atom from a compound, but I would like to know some in-depth info on how the reactions occur.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Deprotonation usually occurs through a base (hydrolysis).
