Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the given information, which is stronger base has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Acid:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, a species which donates a proton in a proton transfer-reaction is said to be an acid.
Base:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, a species which accepts a proton in a proton transfer-reaction is said to be base.
Strong acid:
According to Arrhenius theory, a compound or a substance which completely ionized in a aqueous solution to give a hydronium ion and anion is said to be strong acid.
Strong base:
According to Arrhenius theory, a compound or a substance which completely ionized in a aqueous solution to give a hydroxide ion and cation is said to be strong base.
