The Bronsted definition of an acid is a compound that donates a
hydrogen ion (H+) to another compound, while a Bronsted base is a
compound that accepts a hydrogen ion from another compound.

To solve your homework problem, figure out which compound is doing the
donating and which the receiving in your reaction.
