Compar the acidic nature :
(a) `H_2O` and `H_2O_2` and (b) Co and `CO_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `H_(2)O` is neutral. `H_(2)O_(2)` is weakly acidic.
`H_(2)O_(2)` forms salts upon neutralisation with alkali.
`H_(2)O_(2)+ NaOH_(2)+H_(2)O,H_(2)O_(2)+2NaOHrarr Na_(2)O_(2)+2H_(2)O`
(b) `CO` is neutral. `CO_(2)` is weakly acidic. Carbondioxide forms carbonic acid with water and salt with alkali.
`CO_(2)+H_(2)OrarrH_(2)CO_(3),CO_(2)+2NaOHrarrNa_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O`
