Chemistry doubt....
« on: October 12, 2009, 04:23:49 pm »
th question says....

the reaction shown occurs naturally.

        C6H12O6     ==>      6CO2  +  6H2O
         P                           Q           

which description of P and Q are correct?

        P is a Hydrocarbon               Q is an Acidic Oxide

A             Yes                                      Yes
B             Yes                                       no

Well, hydrocarbons consist of only C and H atoms...so hence glucose is not hydrocarbon.....CO2 is acidic should be known :P....CO2 forms carbonic acid in soln...it's an acidic oxide...cummon dude

yeah..that was correct...

as nid said..CO2 forms carbonic acid

metal oxides forms an alkali when dissolved in water

and non-metal oxides form acid..
so..yaeh..C is a non-metal..so

the answer is C

@nid - he has taken combined science dude...not pure chem/phy/bio
