Unit 2 part 6 - Period 3 acid base reactions Flashcards
6APR25
Metal oxide?
Basic
- Na2O, MgO
= Giant ionic
Non-metal oxide?
Acidic
- NO, NO2, CO2
Mettaloid oxide?
Amphoteric ( can act as an acid or base)
Basic oxides?
- React w/water to form a base
- Most acid/ base reactions happen in water
Meaning Na2O has basic properties
Acidic oxides?
- Non-metal period three elements will react w/ water to form an acid (synthesis reaction)
Why is rain acidic with a Ph of 5.6?
B/c CO2 is dissolved in water which produces carbonic acid
Equation of carbonic acid?
CO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2CO3(aq)
How is sulfurous acid formed?
Burning of fossil fuels in rain water
Equation of sulfurous acid?
SO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO3(AQ)
How is NO produced?
Internal combustion engines
How is NO2 produced?
When NO reacts with the atmosphere with O2
Equation of nitric acid?
NO2(g) + H2O(L) + O2(g) = HNO3(AQ)
What does CO2, from the combustion of fossil fuels, dissolving in H2O inhibit?
Shell growth in marine animals
