    Chemical reaction 1: HNO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq).

    Chemical reaction 2: CO₃²⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) → HCO₃⁻ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq).

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

    In first reaction:

    1) HNO₃ (nitric acid) is hydrogen-ion donor and water is hydrogen-ion acceptor.

    2) HNO ₃ is acid and NO₃⁻ is conjugate base.

    In second reaction:

    1) water is hydrogen-ion donor and CO₃²⁻ hydrogen-ion acceptor.

    2) CO₃²⁻ is base and HCO₃⁻ is conjugate acid.
