Nitrogen sesquoxide `(N_(2)O_(3)` is a`//`an

A

acidic oxide and the anhydride of hyponitrous acid `(H_(2)N_(2)O_(2))`

B

acidic oxide and ahydride of nitrous acid

C

basic oxide and anhydride of nitric acid

D

neutral oxide and anhydride of nitric acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
it is an acidic axide. It forms nitrous acid with water and hence the name nitrous anhydride.
`N_(2)O_(3)+H_(2)O rarr 2HNO_(2)`
The oxide combines with alkali forming corresponding nitrites `2NaOH+N_(2)O_(3)rarr2NaNO_(2)+H_(2)O`
