Interpretation: The chemical equations that show the reaction of an aqueous suspension of Chromium (III) hydroxide with a strong acid and a strong base are to be stated.

Concept introduction: Amphiprotic species are those species which accept as well as donate hydrogen ion $\left({\text{H}}^{+}\right)$.

Some of the examples of amphiprotic species are ${\text{HSO}}_4^{-}$, ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{HCO}}_3^{-}$.
