None of the above. Oxygen is an element, while acids and bases are compounds of more than one element. The degree of acidity or alkalinity is given as pH, which is a measure of the Hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. Oxygen by itself, being an element, has no hydrogen ion concentration, so is none of those things. Neither, in that context of pH, is it neutral.

Which Brønsted-Lowry acid has the strongest conjugate base?
Example [OH-]acid (!) conjugated with [O2-]baseor else, in water: [H2O]acid (!) conjugated with [OH-]base
What acid is O2?
O2 denotes oxygen. It is element. It is not an acid.
What type of reaction is NH3 plus O2 - NO plus H2O?
This is an oxidation reaction of N from -3 (in NH3) to +2 (in NO) oxidation value. 4 NH3 + 5 O2 --> 6 H2O + 4 NO
Is CaCO3 s CaO s plus O2 g an example of an acid-base reaction?
1. The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate (if you think to this reaction) is not an acid-base reaction. 2 The calcium oxide is not oxidized by oxygen.
How can an acid turn to base?
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!

What best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
Is acetamide acid or base?
It is a base It is a base It is a base
What is the base of OH?
O2-
Is magnesium nitrate a base or acid?
Neither. Strictly speaking it is a very weak base. A Magnesium Nitrate solution is neutral with a pH of 7.0. Salts of strong acids are neutral. Magnesium Nitrate is salt of Nitric acid which is very strong acid.
What is the conjugate base of HBr?
There is no conjugate) base coupled to bromide, Br-, because this Br- can NOT donate (by protolysing) a proton (H+) in water.However Br- itself is the very, very weakest base of the (very, very) strong conjugate acid HBr.This is the only possible conjugate acid/base pair:HBr/Br-
Does flour react with acid?
Flour is a base, not an acid.
What is the acid radical present in Na2 O2?
If there is any acid radical present, it is one with the formula O2-2. However, hydrogen peroxide is not usually considered an acid except by the broadest definition(s) of acid behavior.
