yeah....sorry...well if thats so....then

my guess would be B...:)

plz explain abt this digital indicator cz i never heard abt it in my chem class

and if you see its given in my book atleast that this a probe like thing that you bring in contact with the water and it continously tells you the changes in pH occuring..:)

but my classified says acidic oxide, i.e. option C

umm...yeah it can be ...i am a little confused here..

well yeah its not working as an oxidising Agent as its not applying to the property...neither is it reducing...its Si (non metal ) cannot be a Basic Oxide...so it leaves us with no option but C..:)

dats wat i m confused abt cz i really think it is a reductant cz SiO2 is changing to SiO3 so it shows dat it is oxidising.....in other words isn't it supposed to b a reductant?

1) what is the useful product wen yeast is used in bread making; is ethanol useful or CO2?
2)What is the function of SiO2(silica) in the equation: CaO+ SiO2= CaSiO3
a) basic oxide b) reducing agent c) acidic oxide d) oxidizing agent
1) It's as Spidey said... ethanol is waste while CO2 is useful :)
2) It is an acidic oxide which is actually a waste material (SAND) and in order to remove it... the basic oxide CaO is added so they react and form slag (CaSiO3) which floats an can be easily removed. It's also used by road builders :)

but my classified says acidic oxide, i.e. option C
So i think your classified is pretty much correct :D

:LOL: It is SO not changing into SiO3. If you read the formula again it's CaSiO3 and (as you'll study later) the valency of Si remains the same. It is NOT oxidised :D

bogus.........no actually my prob is tht we just had to answer in yes or no.....so do we consider it negligible or shu we write yes?
heck i kno its 1/1840.........

ayeshaK....... place a small amount of sample on the slide, then add a stain (eg iodine solution) to make the contents more visible, den lower the cover slip carefully over the sample...if any bubbles form in the stain then press the slip to remove dem...
