-Aluminium oxide is an amphoteric oxide because it reacts with both acid and as well as bases to produce salts and water.
-It shows both acidic and basic behaviour.
Examples:
• Al2O3 + 6HCl -----------> 2AlCl3 + 3H20
(^^Reaction with acid^^)
• Al2O3 + 2NaOH --------> 2NaAlO2 + H2O
(^^Reaction with base^^)
Hope you found the answer helpful:))
