Identify the most acidic oxide among the following oxides based on their reaction.
Options
- ASO₃
- BP₄O₁₀
- CCl₂O₇
- DN₂O₅
Correct answer
C. Cl₂O₇
Step-by-step solution
As we move from left to right within a period, the acidic character increases. As we move down a group, the acidic character decreases. Order of acidic strength: SO ₃ < P ₄ O ₁₀ < N ₂ O ₅ < Cl ₂ O ₇
