Explanation:

To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that substance is the base (accepts hydrogen ions).

An acid is any chemical compound which when dissolved in water gives a solution with a hydrogen ion activity greater than in pure water. A base is an aqueous substance that can accept hydrogen ions. An acid is an substance which donates a proton.
