Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

• A)Acid-base reactions involve a transfer of protons; redox reactions, a transfer of electrons
• B)In both redox and acid-base reactions, the reactants are given special names to indicate their roles in the transfer process
• C)Just as certain species can either donate or accept protons and thereby behave as an acid in one reaction and a base in another, certain species can either accept or donate electrons, acting as an oxidizing agent in one reaction and a reducing agent in another
• D)Just as acids and bases may be classified as "strong" or "weak" depending on how readily they donate or accept protons, the strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents may be compared according to their tendencies to attract or release electrons
• E)Unlike most acid-base reactions in solution, which reach a state of equilibrium, most aqueous redox reactions do not reach a state of equilibrium and proceed entirely either in the forward or reverse direction
