Explanation / Answer

a) CH3COOH(aq)+NH3(aq)=   NH4+(aq)  +   CH3CO2-(aq)    acid : CH3COOH    base : NH3 b) HNO3(aq)+CH3NH2(aq)=  CH3NH3+(aq)     + NO3-(aq)    acid : HNO3    base : CH3NH2 c) NH3(aq)+HCN(aq)=  NH3+(aq)      + CN-(aq)    acid : HCN    base :  NH3 An acid is the one which can donate H + ion & base is one which can donate OH - ion .
