Multiple choice chemistry chemistry in everyday life metal oxides and non metal oxides reactions of acids and bases properties of acids and bases

From the reaction of $NaOH$ with sulphur dioxide, what can be concluded about the nature of sulphur dioxide?

  1. It is acidic in nature

  2. It is basic in nature

  3. It is amphoteric in nature

  4. It is neutral in nature

A Correct answer
Explanation

We can conclude that sulphr dioxide is acidic in nature as it reacts with a base $(NaOH)$ to form salt and water.
$SO _2 + NaOH \rightarrow NaHSO _3$
$SO _2 + 2NaOH \rightarrow  Na _2SO _3 + H _2O$

The reaction between dinitrogen trioxide and potassium hydroxide gives $KNO _2$.
$N _2O _3 + 2KOH  \rightarrow 2KNO _2 + H _2O$


What can we conclude about the nature of dinitrogen trioxide?

  1. It is acidic oxide

  2. It is basic oxide

  3. It is amphoteric oxide

  4. It is neutral oxide
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
$N _2O _3 + 2KOH  \rightarrow 2KNO _2 + H _2O$

In the above reaction, we can see that dinitrogen trioxide is an acidic oxide, as $N _2O _3$ reacts with a base $(KOH)$ to form salt and water. This is the characteristic of acidic oxide.
Hence, option $A$ is correct.

$CuO+(X) \rightarrow CuSO _4+H _2O$ 

Here, $(X)$ is:

  1. $CuSO _4$
  2. $HCl$
  3. $H _2SO _4$
  4. $HNO _3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Acid and base react together, neutralize each other and form salt and water.

$Acid + Base \rightarrow Salt + water$
Here $CuO$ acts as a base and the salt formed is $CuSO _4$, along with formation of water $(H _2O)$.
Since the salt formed is $CuSO _4$, the reacting acid should be sulphate ion ($SO _4^{2-}$) donor, and water would not have been formed if $CuO\  and\  CuSO _4$  would have reacted together. Thus $H _2SO _4$ is the acid that will react with $CuO$ to give $CuSO _4\ and\ H _2O$. The reaction occurs as follows :-
$CuO+H _2SO _4\rightarrow CuSO _4+H _2O$
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
