Wikipedia

  1. Acidic oxide

    An acidic oxide is an oxide that either produces an acidic solution upon addition to water, or acts as an acceptor of hydroxide ions effectively functioning as a Lewis acid. Acidic oxides will typically have a low pKa and may be inorganic or organic. A commonly encountered acidic oxide, carbon dioxide produces an acidic solution (and the generation of carbonic acid) when dissolved.The acidity of an oxide can be reasonably assumed by its accompanying constituents. Less electronegative elements tend to form basic oxides such as sodium oxide and magnesium oxide, whereas more electronegative elements tend to produce acidic oxides as seen with carbon dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide. Some oxides like aluminium oxides are amphoteric.Acidic oxides are of environmental concern. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides are considered air pollutants as they react with atmospheric water vapour to produce acid rain.

  1. Acidic oxide

    An acidic oxide is an oxide that either ⁕reacts with water to form an acid; or ⁕reacts with a base to form a salt. Examples include: ⁕Carbon dioxide which reacts with water to produce carbonic acid. ⁕Sulfur dioxide, which does not form the non-existent sulfurous acid but does react with bases to form sulfites. ⁕Silicon dioxide, which does not react with water but will react with bases to form silicates ⁕Chromium trioxide, which reacts with water to form chromic acid. Chromic acid is a hypothetical acid. The monomer and dimer would respectively have structures similar to sulfuric and disulfuric acids. ⁕Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with water and forms phosphoric acid Acidic oxides are oxides of either nonmetals or of metals in high oxidation states. They are formed when a nonmetal burns.
