a.

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The reactant that is an acid and the reactant that is a base, in the given chemical equation.

Introduction:

The chemical compounds or molecules which donate hydrogen ion or proton are known as acids whereas the compounds or molecules which accept the incoming hydrogen ion or proton are known as bases. The value of acids on $\text{pH}$ scale is below $7$ where as bases lie above $7$. Strong acids are corrosive in nature and it can damage the skin when come in contact.
