Hi,
Does anyone can help me with this question:
The nonmetal oxide, CO2, reacts with the metal oxide CaCO, to give CaCO3.
Would you expect boric oxide to react similarly with CO2? Explain why.
Thank you . Very much
Braddy

Carbon in CaCO has an ON of 0. In CO2 it has an ON of +4. In CaCO3 it has an ON of +4. Therefore, there is no redox reaction as far as I can tell.
I really don't know the answer to this. Anyone else have any ideas? I am clueless.
Why is the thread titled boric acid yet you talk about boric oxide in the problem?

I am sorry about the title, I was talking about boric oxide.
I don't really do not know how to respond to this question. Can we say that because both boric oxide and CO2 are non metal , there is no reaction?

| I don't think oxide compound would react with the CO2, probably under the pressure and heat it would reacts. But gases itself... hard to imagine
