I realize that the compound As2O3 is an acidic oxide, but I am not quite sure what sort of balanced equation to use to prove its acidity. I am planning on using As2O3 + H2O, but I can't remember how to figure out exactly what this yields. I assumed that it was H3AsO4, but I couldn't balance the equation with this, so it seems as though it might yield H3AsO3. I should know how to formulate my balanced equation properly, but apparently I have forgotten what steps to take.
Am I using the right reactants? If so, what should my product be?
Thanks for your help. =)
