a What is the nature of the oxide SO2 What happens when

(a) What is the nature of the oxide $S O_{2}$ ? What happens when it is dissolved in water? Write the chemical equation of the reaction involved.
(b) What is the nature of the oxide $N a_{2} O$ ? What happens when it is dissolved in water? Write the chemical equation of the reaction involved.

Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.

Right Answer is:

SOLUTION

(a) $S O_{2}$ is acidic in nature. When sulfur dioxide(SO₂) reacts with water(H₂O), it forms sulfurous acid (H₂SO₃).

SO₂ + H₂O $⟶$ H₂SO₃

(b) $N a_{2} O$ is a basic oxide. It forms NaOH on being dissolved in water.

$N a_{2} O + H_{2} O ⟶ N a O H + O_{2}$
