Because it is a combination of acid
all acids have sour taste
Acidic oxides are typically formed by nonmetals and some metalloids. Common elements that produce acidic oxides include sulfur (forming sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide), nitrogen (forming nitrogen dioxide), phosphorus (forming phosphorus pentoxide), and carbon (forming carbon dioxide). These oxides generally react with water to form acids or with bases to form salts, contributing to their acidic nature.
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
acidic
CO2, or carbon dioxide, is gaseous in nature.
Carbon dioxide gas will cause bromothymol blue (BTB) to change from blue to yellow. This is due to the acidic nature of carbon dioxide when dissolved in water, which causes the pH to decrease and the BTB indicator to change color.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which can release hydrogen ions (H+) into the solution, making it acidic. This is why carbon dioxide is considered an acidic oxide.
When we exhale, carbon dioxide is released from the body. Carbon dioxide reacts with water in our bodies to form carbonic acid, which contributes to the acidic nature of our breath. This process helps to maintain the body's pH balance.
Non-metal oxides are typically covalent compounds that form when a non-metal reacts with oxygen. They tend to be acidic in nature, as they form acids when they dissolve in water. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the water, making it acidic.
No, in the solution of carbon dioxide carbonic acid is formed H2CO3 which is weakly acidic.
Water with dissolved carbon dioxide is acidic.
Sulfur dioxide gas is acidic in nature. When dissolved in water, it forms sulfurous acid, which can lower the pH of a solution.
pH applies only to aqueous systems. Dissolved in water, carbon dioxide is very mildly acidic.
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless gas that can dissolve in water to form a mildly acidic solution known as carbonic acid.
