What is the process of neutralisation according to Bronsted-Lowry concept?

Solution

Neutralisation is the process of formation of a conjugate base and a conjugate acid of the original acid and base which react respectively. For example,
HCl space plus space NH subscript 3 space space rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon space space space NH subscript 4 superscript plus space plus space Cl to the power of minus
 Cl to the power of minus is the conjugate base of HCl and NH subscript 4 superscript plus is the conjugate acid of NH3.
