give reason 1 copper oxide is base in nature 2 non-metalic oxide is acidic in nature
Answers
Answer:
When non metallic oxide for example SO2 (non metal) is dissolved in water it produces sulphurous acid which is acidic in nature. When metallic oxide (metal) reacts with water it produces metal hydroxides that are basic in nature. ... In the case of sulphurous acid, the blue litmus turns red indicating that it is acidic
Explanation:
Metallic oxides are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water. They also react with water to form metal hydroxides which are alkaline in nature because these metal hydroxides release OH- ions in solution. ... Therefore, non metallic oxides would be acidic in nature.
Metal oxides are basic nature. Some are amphoteric.
A base is a substance that can react with acids and neutralise them. Bases are usually: metal oxides, such as copper oxide. metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, or.
