A student burns a non-metal and the gas so produced is dissolved in water. What would the student do next to chemical properties of the product formed?

Answer»

Sulfer is a non-metal elements on burning in the presence at oxygen, it is forms SO2 and SO3 non-metal oxides.

S8(g) + O2(g) \(\overset{Burn}{\longrightarrow}\) SO2 + SO3

On dissolving these non-metal oxide in water, they are formed corresponding acids.

SO2(g) + H2O(l) → \(\underset{\text{Sulfurous acid}}{H_2SO_3(aq)}\)

SO3(g) + H2O(l) → \(\underset{\text{Sulfuric acid}}{H_2SO_4(aq)}\)

Hence, non-metal oxides in water acidic in nature.
