HOPE IT HELPS :)
To test for Nitric oxide (NO2) & Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) :
PROCEDURE 1. add this oxide in water drop by drop with constant stirring
2. Now take a blue litmus
3. Observe the changes
OBSERVATION : The blue litmus changes to red
CONCLUSION : Since the blue litmus changes to red it shows the presence of acid .
RESULT : Thus , these oxides are acidic in nature
Explanation:
Since we all know that non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature ...this is a simple activity through which ypu can prove as well
Also instead of blue litmus one caj take other indicators as well like turmeric ,methyl orange etc
For more understanding you can look at the equations below
NO2+H20= HN03( Nitric Acid )
SO2+H20=H2SO4( Sulphuric acid )
