Question

Acidic oxides that are dissolved in the water turn red litmus blue.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Non-metal oxides are called acidic oxides. When acidic oxides are dissolved in water, it forms acid.

${\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to {\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$

• In this reaction, carbon dioxide dissolved in water forms carbonic acid. Since the product is acid, it turns blue litmus red.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
