Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
From the basic concepts of acids and bases, we know that when a base accepts a hydrogen ion (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid which can accept again the H⁺ ion:
B⁻ + H₂O ⇆ BH + OH⁻
The stronger the base, the weaker the conjugate base. Thus, as more strength has a base, lesser strength will have the conjugate base (it will not be able to accept again the H⁺ ion). For example, when water (H₂O) loses its H⁺ , it forms the conjugate base OH⁻. So, OH⁻ is the stronger base that can exist in an aqueous solution.
H₂O ⇆ H⁺ + OH⁻
In fact, strong bases are hydroxides, such as NaOH or KOH.
Answer:
E. Gain of electrons
Explanation:
A reduction reaction is one part of the two concurrent reactions that take place in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.
During reduction, an atom gains electrons from a donor atom, and it's oxidation number becomes smaller.
Option A is wrong because reduction does not increase oxidation state nor are neutrons involved
Option B is wrong because reduction is not a nuclear reaction (does not involve the nucleons)
Option C is wrong because reduction leads to reduction in oxidation state
Option D is wrong leads to a reduction in oxidation state when electrons are gained
Option E is correct because reduction involves gain of electrons
