give an example and write the balanced chemical equation when metal oxide reacts with acid
Answers
Hey Ma8 ,
2HCl + CaO = CaCl2 + H2O
acid + metal oxide = salt + water

this is my last ans
plzzz mark me as a brainlist
When a metal reacts with oxygen or does combustion in presence of air it forms metallic oxide. These metalic oxides are basic in nature.
Acids are the substance which have hydrogen ionas the only positive ions.
By acidic properties, if an acid reacts with a base it gives out salt and water.
Since, metal oxide is a base , when will react with acid will give Salt and water.
Lets suppose Metal be Na
When will combust in presence of air will give Sodium oxide .Since, oxygen have valency - 2 and sodium have +1 so two sodium atoms will react with oxygen in atmosphere ans will give Sodium oxide.
Let suppose it reacts with Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
It will give out sodium chloride as a salt and water.
