A student says carbon dioxide is not an acid, so it cannot react with a base. What is the correct evaluation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The statement is wrong because carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide

The key distinction is between an acid and an acidic oxide. Carbon dioxide is a non-metal oxide with acidic character. It reacts with water to form carbonic acid and reacts with bases such as calcium hydroxide: CO2 + Ca(OH)2 -> CaCO3 + H2O. Thus it can neutralise a base even though it is not a typical acid like hydrochloric acid. It is not a metal or a strong base, and gases are not universally inert. Option A is correct.
