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).

Identify acidic salt which can react with one mole of base among the following.

  1. $(NH _{4}) _{2}CO _{3}$
  2. $Na _{2}HPO _{3}$
  3. $NaH _{2}PO _{3}$
  4. $CH _{3}COOK$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$H _3PO _3$ is a dibasic acid. In its structure, one oxygen atom is bonded to $P-$ atom via a double bond. $2$ $O-$atoms are bonded to $H-$atoms causing acidity. The third $H$ is directly attached to $P-$ atom responsible for its reducing behavior. 

In $NaH _2PO _3$, one acidic $H$ is replaced by $Na$. Only one $H$ is left which causes the acidic behavior in the salt and hence, will react with one mole of base.
