An acidic oxide is an oxide that either produces an acidic solution upon addition to water, or acts as an acceptor of hydroxide ions effectively functioning as a Lewis acid .[1] Acidic oxides will typically have a low pK a and may be inorganic or organic . A commonly encountered acidic oxide, carbon dioxide produces an acidic solution (and the generation of carbonic acid ) when dissolved.[2]
The acidity of an oxide can be reasonably assumed by its accompanying constituents. Less electronegative elements tend to form basic oxides such as sodium oxide and magnesium oxide , whereas more electronegative elements tend to produce acidic oxides as seen with carbon dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide . Some oxides like aluminium oxides are amphoteric .[3]
Acidic oxides are of environmental concern. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides are considered air pollutants as they react with atmospheric water vapour to produce acid rain .
Examples
[ edit ]
Carbonic acid is an illustrative example of the Lewis acidity of an acidic oxide.
CO 2 + 2OH− ⇌ HCO3 − + OH− ⇌ CO3 2− + H2 O
This property is a key reason for keeping alkali chemicals well sealed from the atmosphere, as long-term exposure to carbon dioxide in the air can degrade the material.
H 2 CO 3 → H2 O + CO2
CrO3 + H2 O → H2 CrO4
N 2 O 5 + H2 O → 2 HNO3
Mn 2 O 7 + H2 O → 2 HMnO4
Further examples
[ edit ]
Aluminium oxide
[ edit ]
Aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) is an amphoteric oxide; it can act as a base or acid. For example, with base different aluminate salts will be formed:
Al 2 O 3 + 2 NaOH + 3 H2 O → 2 NaAl(OH )4
Silicon dioxide
[ edit ]
Silicon dioxide is an acidic oxide. It will react with strong bases to form silicate salts.[4]
Silicon dioxide is the anhydride of silicic acid :
H 4 SiO4 → 2 H2 O + SiO2
Phosphorus oxides
[ edit ]
Phosphorus(III) oxide reacts to form phosphorous acid in water:
P 4 O 6 + 6 H2 O → 4 H3 PO 3
Phosphorus(V ) oxide reacts with water to give phosphoric acid :
P 4 O 10 + 6 H2 O → 4 H3 PO 4
Sulfur oxides
[ edit ]
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form the weak acid, sulfurous acid :
SO 2 + H2 O → H2 SO 3
Sulfur trioxide forms the strong acid sulfuric acid with water:
SO 3 + H2 O → H2 SO 4
This reaction is important in the manufacturing of sulfuric acid.
Chlorine oxides
[ edit ]
Chlorine(I ) oxide reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid , a very weak acid:
Cl 2 O + H2 O ⇌ 2 HOCl
Chlorine(VII) oxide reacts with water to form perchloric acid , a strong acid:
Cl 2 O 7 + H2 O → 2 HClO4
Iron oxides
[ edit ]
Iron(II ) oxide is the anhydride of the aqueous ferrous ion:
[Fe(H 2 O )6 ]2+ → FeO + 2 H+ + 5 H2 O
Chromium oxides
[ edit ]
Chromium trioxide is the anhydride of chromic acid :
H 2 CrO4 → H2 O + CrO3
Vanadium oxides
[ edit ]
Vanadium trioxide is the anhydride of vanadous acid :
2H3 VO 3 → 3H2 O + V2 O 3
Vanadium pentoxide is the anhydride of vanadic acid :
2H3 VO 4 → 3H2 O + V2 O 5
