Brønsted-Lowry acids are proton donors, and bases are proton acceptors. In the given equation, HSOS1U1B14S1U1B0S1U1P1-S1S1P0 (sulfuric acid) donates a proton to become SOS1U1B14S1U1B0S1U1P12- (sulfate ion), making it an acid. HCS1U1B12S1U1B0HS1U1B13S1U1B0OS1U1B12S1U1B0 (carbonic acid) donates a proton to become CS1U1B12S1U1B0HS1U1B13S1U1B0OS1U1B12S1U1B0S1U1P1- (bicarbonate ion), also making it an acid. The recipients of these protons are bases.
