Answer:

HNO3(aq) + OH-(aq) → NO3-(aq) + H2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+) and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Nitric acid, HNO3 and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the given reaction.

Thus, the nitric acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing nitrate ion, NO3- as a conjugate base, while OH- produces H2O as a conjugate acid.
