Best Answer

When dissolving CO2 in water it forms a weak acid: H2CO3.

SiO2 will not dissolve in water, so it is not acidic (nor base)

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) can act as a weak acid in water, forming sulfurous acid, while silicon dioxide (SiO2) does not exhibit acidic properties as it is insoluble in water.

Yes, P4O10 forms phosphoric acid in water while SiO2 is insoluble in water.

SiO2 is almost insoluble (sand) and therfore can not form an acid.

SO2 is soluble (a gas) and therefore can form an acid.

Why is so2 harmful?

SO2 is a acidic gas.It is a strong acid.


Why is so2 a powerful reducing agent in alkaline medium than in acidic medim?

SO2 acts as a reducing agent because of the liberation of nescent hydrogen in the presence of moisture;SO2 + 2H2O ---------- H2SO4 +2HAlkali neutralises the acid (H2SO4) and shifts the equilibrium in the forward direction producing more nascent hydrogen.however,in acidic medium,the equilibrium is suppressed resulting in a lesser amount of nascant hydrogen.consequently,SO2 is better reducing agent in alkaline medium than in the acidic medium.....if you are satisfy with my answer than...wel done me...hahahah....otherwise abuse me...i will be satisfy with your abusingPosted by Sachin Bagga(student), 1 minute ago
