- An acidic solution is formed when a substance dissolves in water and increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺). - Non-metal oxides, like carbon dioxide, often react with water to form acids. - Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen are non-polar or weakly polar molecules that dissolve in water but do not react chemically to produce acidic or basic solutions; they remain neutral.
Which one of the following gases dissolves in water to give acidic solution?
