Lemma 10.107.3. If $R \to S$ is an epimorphism of rings and $R \to R'$ is any ring map, then $R' \to R' \otimes _ R S$ is an epimorphism.

Proof. Omitted. Hint: True in any category with pushouts. $\square$

Unless I'm mistaken, this can be strengthened: if is an epimorphism of rings and is any ring map, then is an isomorphism. Proof: Use either the fact that if and are -modules and is a ring epimorphism, then the natural map is an isomorphism, or write

This is not true because in particular taking would give that and there are nontrivial epimorphisms of rings, for example .
