What is the result when most nonmetallic oxides react with water?
Non metal oxides tend to react with water to form acidic solutions.
Is it true that non metal oxides which react with water to form acids are called acidic oxides?
non metal oxides react with water to give oxyacid but also do undergo disproponation depending on the oxidation number ( oxidation number is increased and decreased, respectively) of the metal N2O5 + H2O → 2HNO3 3NO2 + H2O → 2HNO3 + NO
Why is burning of non metals responsible for acid rain?
Burning creates oxides such as C02 and nitrous oxides. These react with the water in the air (H20), combining with the hydrogen in the water to form acids: carbonic acid and nitric acid respectively.
Will na2o react with water to form a acidic solution?
No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation. Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic. Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids. Alkali metal(group 1 of periodic table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).
What is the difference between acidic oxide and basic oxide?
acidic oxides form acids with water Bases form basic salts with water
What will combining a non-metal oxide with water form?
All nonmetals form covalent oxides with oxygen, which react with water to form acids or with bases to form salts.

What combines with water to produce acids?
acidic gases - e.g. oxides of non-metals - so oxides of sulfur and nitrogen will form acids
Describe a substance which will react with both acids and alkalis to form a salt and water?
Such substances are semi-metals as Zn,Sn and Al , and their oxides, such substances are known as Amphoteric.
What two acids in pollution make acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides both react with water in the atmosphere to form acids, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
Which type of oxide is formed when metals combine with oxygen?
Metal oxides form alkalis when they dissolve in water. Non-metal oxides for acids. For example: carbon dioxide + water --> carbonic acid magnesium oxide + water --> magnesium hydroxide
What else does acids react to form bases besides water?
Acids reacts with bases to form a salt and water.
Why are the alkali metals so named?
When alkali metals react with water they produce an alkali (basic) solution. No because they form basic oxides and they neutralise acids
Will na2o react with water to form a acidic solution?

What happens if metals react with water?
In the case of rust anyway, metal oxides form
