Step 1: introduce to the Bronsted Lowry theory

According to the Bronsted Lowry  theory, 

an acid is a compound that when dissolved in water releases hydrogen ions.

An acid is a donor of hydrogen ions.

A base is a compound that when dissolved accepts hydrogen ions, so

a base is acceptor of hydrogen ions.

The compound that is formed after accepting hydrogen ion is known as conjugate acid.

The compound that is formed donation of hydrogen ion is known as conjugate base.

Here we are required to find the products that are formed for the given reaction.
