BITSAT Chemistry Question (2020) — Solution
Options
- A. Cl _ 2 O _ 7 > SO _ 2 > P _ 4 O _ 10
- B. K _ 2 O > CaO > MgO
- C. CO _ 2 > N _ 2 O _ 5 > SO _ 3
- D. Na _ 2 O > MgO > Al _ 2 O _ 3
Answer
A. Cl _ 2 O _ 7 > SO _ 2 > P _ 4 O _ 10
Step-by-step solution
Acidic character of oxide Non-metallic nature of element. Non-metallic character increases along the period. Hence order of acidic character is Cl _ 2 O _ 7 > SO _ 2 > P _ 4 O _ 10
