Question

Nonmetal oxides can react with water to form acids. For example, carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid: CO2 H2O H2CO3. (1) Write an equation to show how diiodine pentaoxide reacts with water to form an acid. Do not include states. Balanced equation for reaction (smallest integer coefficients): (2) What is the name of the acid (include 'acid'):

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Diiodine pentoxide is I₂O₅

Reaction with water

I₂O₅ + H₂O = 2HIO₃

2 ) HIO₃ is called iodic acid.
