When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?
It can cause acidic air.
Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
What is the pH value of nitrogen?
only aqueous solutions have a pH. Also, pure nitrogen is neither acidic or basic and so will not affect the pH of a solution.
Chemical formula for nitrogen dioxide?
Nitrogen dioxide is NO2NO2NO2NO2
Is sulfur dioxide gas basic or acidic in nature?
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?
It can cause acidic air.
Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
How do chemicals make rain acidic?
Rain is natrually acidic due to carbon dioxide, which react with water to form carbonic acid. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from industrial process can also react to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which can make rain abnormally acidic.
Is NO2 is a neutral oxide?
Nitrogen dioxide id hydrolised and the liquid is acidic.
What is a major component in acid rain?
SulphuR dioxide or nitrogen dioxide...this can kill fish by making lakes acidic!
What can make rain more acidic?
Rain can be made more acidic by reactions with nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which react with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid respectively.
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
Is carbon dioxide a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
Is sulphur dioxide in aqueous form basic or acidic?
It is an acidic or acid forming (nonmetal) oxide: SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3 , sulfurous acid
Are nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide the same?
NO!!! Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a Brown Gas. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas. Each gas differs by one atom viz. nitrogen and / or carbon. However, they are both acidic gases. When dissolved in water they form nitric acid (HNO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3).
