1) first reaction is acid-base neutralization reaction in which salt and water is formed.
2) second reaction, when an acid is loses a proton, the residual part of it has a tendency to regain the proton . therefore it behaves as a base .
such pairs of substances which can be formed from one another by loss or gain of protons
are known as conjugate acid-base pairs
