In the reaction between H2Y - and H2Z - , if H2Y - acts like a base, and H2Z - acts like an acid, the products of the reaction are:

A) H3Y - and HZ- B) HY- and H3Z - C) H3Y and HZ2- D) H2Y and HZ- E) H3Y and HZ

Acid is a species loses a proton.

Base is a species that receives proton.

H₂Y^- is base and H₂Z^- is an acid. This means that H₂Y^-abstracts protons from H₂Z^-

The products of the given reaction is shown as below,
