Answer:
The Oxidation states of the central atom in following oxides are:
CO2 = Oxidation State of C is +4
SO3= Oxidation State of S is +6
B2O3= Oxidation State of B is +3
Cl2O7= Oxidation State of C is +7
H2O= Oxidation State of o is +2
As the positive oxidation state increases, tendency to gain electron increases. And according to Lewis principle, the one who gains electrons is acidic. So, more oxidation state implies more acidic.
Decreasing Order of acidic strength= Cl2O7 >SO3> CO2> B2O3> H2O
