Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason as to how strong acid and strong reducing agent is similar is to be stated. The reason as to how strong base compares with a strong oxidizing agent is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The acid that has a very high capacity to lose a proton is known as strong acid. They completely dissociates into the water.
The base that has a very high capacity to lose hydroxide ion is known as strong base. They completely dissociates into the aqueous solution.
The species that has the tendency to gain an electron and get reduced is known as an oxidizing agent.
The species that reduces other substances by donating an electron is known as a reducing agent.
