Some oxides are given below. (i)Na2O (ii)NO2 (iii) CO2 (iv) MgO a) Which are the basic oxides among these? b) What is the name of the aqueous solution of CO2 ?

Further explanation

Basic oxides ⇒ metal(usually alkali/alkaline earth) +O₂

L + O₂ ⇒ L₂O

L + O₂ ⇒ LO

Dissolve in water becomes = basic solution

L₂O+H₂O⇒ 2LOH

LO + H₂O⇒ L(OH)₂

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O⇒NaOH

MgO +H₂O⇒Mg(OH)₂

The aqueous solution of CO₂(dissolve in water)

CO₂ + +H₂O⇒ H₂CO₃(carbonic acid)
