Total number of acidic oxides among N$$_2$$O$$_3$$, NO$$_2$$, N$$_2$$O, Cl$$_2$$O$$_7$$, SO$$_2$$, CO, CaO, Na$$_2$$O and NO is ______.
Correct Answer: 4
We need to count the number of acidic oxides from the given list.
An acidic oxide reacts with water to form an acid, or reacts with a base to form a salt.
Analyzing each oxide:
N$$_2$$O$$_3$$: Acidic oxide (forms HNO$$_2$$ with water). ✓
NO$$_2$$: Acidic oxide (forms a mixture of HNO$$_3$$ and HNO$$_2$$ with water). ✓
N$$_2$$O: Neutral oxide. ✗
Cl$$_2$$O$$_7$$: Acidic oxide (anhydride of HClO$$_4$$). ✓
SO$$_2$$: Acidic oxide (forms H$$_2$$SO$$_3$$ with water). ✓
CO: Neutral oxide. ✗
CaO: Basic oxide. ✗
Na$$_2$$O: Basic oxide. ✗
NO: Neutral oxide. ✗
Total number of acidic oxides = $$\boxed{4}$$
