________ oxides react with bases to form salt and water.

Open in App

Solution

A non-metallic oxide exhibits the property of acids when dissolved in water.
Examples of non-metallic oxides: Dinitrogen pentoxide (N₂O₅), Sulphur trioxide (SO₃)
As shown below, non-metallic oxides being acidic in nature react with a base to form a salt.
${SO}_{3} (l) + 2 NaOH (aq) \to H_{2} O (l) + {Na}_{2} {SO}_{4} (aq) (Sulphur trioxide) (Sodium hydroxide) (Water) (Sodium sulphate)$
Therefore, non-metallic oxides react with bases to form salt and water.
