Acidic oxides form (oxy)acids with water:
eg. SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3
An acidic oxide is one that tends to form an acidic solution in water or will act as an acid in certain chemical reactions.
acidic oxides form acids with water Bases form basic salts with water
it is a neutral oxide insoluble in water, but behaves as amphoteric compound.
Nitrogen oxide is not considered an acid because it does not dissociate in water.
Nitric oxide is acidic in nature.
It is acidic. It will lead to the formation of chlorous acid in water.
Sulphur dioxide is a non- metallic oxide and hence it is an acidic oxide. Since it is acidic in nature, when added to water it forms sulphuric acid which is an acid.
Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide, which is a strong base
It forms acidic solutions
Acidic oxides generate H3O+ ions when mixed with water, while Basic oxides produce OH- ions.
SO3 is an acidic oxide. It reacts violently with water to form sufuric acid, H2SO4
it is acidic
