Question

Give reasons of the following:
$N_2{O}_5$ is more acidic than $N_2{O}_3$.

Answer 1

$N_2{O}_5$ is more acidic because it form $HN{O}_3$ with $H_{2}O$ and while $N_2{O}_3$ forms $HN{O}_2$ with $H_{2}O$. $HN{O}_3$ is a stronger acid than $HN{O}_2$.

$N_2{O}_5+H_{2}O\to 2HN{O}_3$

$N_2{O}_3+H_{2}O\to 2HN{O}_2$
