Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To account for why \( \text{Bi}_2\text{O}_3 \) is not acidic in any of its reactions, we can analyze the properties and behavior of bismuth oxide in the context of its chemical structure and the nature of its constituent ions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Dissociation of \( \text{Bi}_2\text{O}_3 \)**: - When \( \text{Bi}_2\text{O}_3 \) dissociates, it forms \( \text{Bi}^{3+} \) ions and \( \text{O}^{2-} \) ions. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ ...
