Question

PH for the solution which contain CO​

Answer 1

PH of  a solution which contain CO is less than 7.

Explanation:

• Carbon monoxide(CO) is a non metallic oxide as carbon is a non-metal.
• Metallic and non metallic oxides differ in terms of their acidic or basic nature.
• Metallic oxides are usually basic in nature whereas on metallic oxides have acidic nature.
• Carbon monoxide CO has a slight acidic nature. Hence its PH value will be less than 7.
• In the PH scale,7 corresponds to neutral nature while values less than 7 indicate acidic nature and values greater than 7 indicate basic nature.
