Question

reaction of oxide of non - metal with water , acid it formed

Answer 1

All nonmetals form covalent oxides with oxygen, which react with waterto form acids or with bases to form salts. Most nonmetal oxides are acidic and form oxyacids, which in turn yield hydronium ions (H3O+) in aqueous solution. There are two general statements that describe the behaviour of acidic oxides. First, oxides such as sulfur trioxide (SO3) and dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), in which the nonmetal exhibits one of its common oxidation numbers, are known as acid anhydrides. These oxides react with water to form oxyacids, with no change in the oxidation number of the nonmetal; for example,N2O5 + H2O → 2HNO3.
