Hello, I know how to write the equation reaction of all substances with water, except for NO.
how does NO react with H2O?
thank you
(correct answer is E)
hello!
even though on paper writing the solution seems like it is an acidic solution,
The oxides of all non-metals are acidic except water, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and nitric oxide because these are neutral in nature. It does not change the colour of litmus paper.
and nitrous oxide normally does not react with water. it is only possible in extreme conditions or when another substance is present
hope this clears it up
