Yes, CO2 is an acid oxide, because when it reacts with water, the product is carbonic acid H2CO3!

Would an acid or an alkali be formed if an oxide were dissolved in water?

When you dissolve an Oxide (e.g. CO2 or SO2) in water you normally make an acid.


Which oxide is a product of the reaction between acid and carbonate?

You wouldnt get an oxide. You would get a salt, CO2 and H2O. E.g. CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CO2 + H2O + CaCl2


Is CO2 a bronsted lowerybase?

No, CO2 is not a Bronsted-Lowry base. It is a non-metal oxide that reacts with water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3, and can act as an acid in some chemical reactions.


What will be the product if a nonmetallic oxide is added to water?

it makes an acid for example CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3


What is produced when a non metallic oxide is mixed with water?

This is a possible way to get an oxy-acid: CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3


What is the balanced equation for potassium oxide reacting with carbonic acid?

The balanced equation for potassium oxide (K2O) reacting with carbonic acid (H2CO3) is: K2O + H2CO3 -> 2KOH + CO2


Is cl2o7 acidic or basic oxide?

It is acidic. It will lead to the formation of chlorous acid in water.


What is the difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid?

Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Carbonate are very different, Magnesium Oxide is Magnesium fused with Oxygen whereas Magnesium Carbonate is Magnesium fused with Carbon and Oxygen. The suffix "ate" means that an oxygen atom is involved. This added element (carbon) means that there will be a slight change in product. The chemical formula for Magnesium carbonate is MgCO3 whereas Magnesium oxide is MgO. See how there are two extra oxygens and one extra carbon? Add them together and you have CO2 and this is your difference. The difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid rather than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid is that sulfuric acid and Magnesium carbonate create CO2 whereas Magnesium Oxide and sulfuric acid do not.


Is CO2 a acid?

No, CO2, or carbon dioxide, is not an acid.


Calcium oxide plus hydrochloric acid?

When calcium oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid, it forms calcium chloride and water. The chemical equation for this reaction is: CaO + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O. Calcium oxide is a strong base that neutralizes the strong acid, hydrochloric acid, to produce a salt and water.


Formula for carbon oxide?

CO2


Is co2 basic or acidic?

As a gas it is neither, but can be considered as a weakly acid forming oxide.When dissolved in water it forms a weak acid called carbonic acid:Carbonic Acid = H2CO3Carbon Dioxide = CO2
