Nonmental Oxides as Acids

[McKenna_4A]

I understand how Oxides like CO2 and SO2 react with water to for acids, so would we consider CO2/SO2 an acid in a reaction that creates the acid?
i.e. H20 + CO2 = H2CO3.... is CO2 an acid?

[Mariepahos4D]

yes, the co2 and so2 would be considered an acid in that reaction because they donate the proton to water to create 2 oh- and a gas

[Sydney Myers 4I]

yes, the co2 and so2 would be considered an acid in that reaction because they donate the proton to water to create 2 oh- and a gas

If a proton is donated to water, it would form hydroxide (H30+)

[JasonLiu_2J]

Yes, CO2 would be considered an acid by the Lewis acid definition. In the reaction, the central carbon atom on CO2 accepts a lone pair from the O in H2O, making the CO2 molecule an electron pair acceptor, or Lewis Acid. At the same time, one of the Hydrogen atoms is delocalized and forms a bond with the one of the oxygen atoms originally in CO2. This then forms H2CO3, which is a bronsted acid.

[Nare Nazaryan 1F]

Yes, CO2 would be an acid in this case.
