Show by chemical reaction with water that Cl2O2 is an acidic oxide .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correction in the question : It is actually Cl₂O₇ which is to be proved as Acidic Oxide.

Chemical Reaction: Cl₂O₇ + H₂O => HClO₄

The product obtained is called Hydro Perchloric Acid.

This product on reacting with litmus paper turns blue litmus red. Hence it confirms that the product is acidic in nature.

Hence Cl₂O₇ is acidic in nature as acidic oxides form acidic hydroxides when reacting with water.

Hope it helped !!

Answer 2

Hie sugar...xD

Explanation:

Na2 0reacts with water to form sodium oxide which turns red litmus blue.

Na20 +H20——-> 2NaOH

Sod.oxide Sod.hydroxide

Therefore, Na20 is a basic oxide

In contrast,Cl207reacts with water to form perchloric acid which turns blue litmus red.

Cl207 +H20——–>2HClO4

perchloric acid

Therefore, Cl207 is an acidic oxide.
