NO2 gas is :
- Colourless, neutral
- Colourless, acidic
- Brown, acidic
- Brown, neutral
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
- NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide) is a brown-colored gas, which gives it a distinctive appearance.
- It is acidic in nature because it dissolves in water to form nitric acid (HNO₃) and nitrous acid (HNO₂), which are both acidic.
Thus, NO₂ is brown in color and acidic in nature, making option (C) the correct answer.
Approach Solution -2
NO₂ (Nitrogen dioxide) is a brown gas and it is acidic in nature because it dissolves in water to form nitric acid (HNO₃) and nitrous acid (HNO₂).
