Answer 1

Answer:

b

acidic oxide which turn blue litmus red

Answer 2

The correct option is b. acidic oxide which turn blue Litmus red.

• Non-metals typically react with necessary oxygen to produce non-metallic oxides.  
• These are acidic in type due to the reason that non-metallic oxides release non-metallic acids when dissolved in water.  
• Sulphur combines with adequate oxygen to form sulphur dioxide, which is then converted to sulphurous acid by naturally reacting with sufficient water.
• On reaction acidic oxide turns blue litmus paper to red
