Solution

The compound that is acidic to litmus among the options provided is Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2).

Here's why:

A. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a neutral oxide. It does not react with water to form an acid or a base, hence it does not turn litmus paper red (acidic) or blue (basic).

B. Dinitrogen oxide (N2O) is also a neutral oxide. It does not react with water to form an acid or a base, hence it does not turn litmus paper red or blue.

C. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is an acidic oxide. It reacts with water to form nitric acid (HNO3), hence it turns blue litmus paper red.

D. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral oxide. It does not react with water to form an acid or a base, hence it does not turn litmus paper red or blue.
