AN ELEMENT 'X' ON REACTING WITH OXYGEN FORMS XO2. THE OXIDE WHEN DISSOLVED IN WATER TURNED RED LITMUS BLUE. WHAT WILL BE THE NATURE OF 'X'?GIVE REASON FOR YOUR ANSWER. PLZ ANSWER ME FAST
Answers
Answer:
the oxide when dissolved in water turns blue litmus red.is x a metal or a non metal. An element reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid. The oxide formed also turns a solution of red litmus blue.
Since the oxide turns red litmus blue, therefore X is a metal because it is an alkaline oxide.
Most of the metals form respective metal oxides when react with oxygen.
Metal + Oxygen → metal oxide
Examples: (1) Reaction of potassium with oxygen:- Potassium metal forms potassium oxide when reacts with oxygen.
4K+O

→2K

(2) Reaction of sodium with oxygen:- Sodium metal forms sodium oxide when reacts with oxygen.
4Na+O

→2Na
