Question

metal oxide are basic oxide explain with an example

Answer 1

A general property of metal oxides is that they tend to react with water to form basic solutions of the metalhydroxide. For example BaO is a basic oxide. It dissolves in water to form barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)2. ... It dissolves in water to form calcium hydroxid

Answer 2

Hey !

Solution :

Metal Oxides are basic in nature. This can be explained through a example.

We know that, 

Acid + Base => Salt + Water

Metal Oxide = CaO

Acid = HCl

Substituting in the reaction we get,

CaO + HCl => CaCl₂ + H₂O

We know that CaCl₂ is an salt. Hence the above equation holds true for neutralization. 

Hence it can be concluded that Metal Oxides are basic in nature.

Hope it helped !
