The most acidic among the following compounds is

  1. A \(\mathrm{NO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \mathrm{NO}_2, \quad \mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4, \mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5, \mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 \] Oxidation number of \(\mathrm{N}=+4+4+5+3\) In \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) nitrogen have +5 oxidation state, so this is most acidic.
