Metal oxides are generally basic in nature.


When metal oxides react with acid they form respective metal salt and water.


Acid + Metal Oxide => Salt + Water


Neutralization Reaction :


Acid + Base => Salt + Water


This is similar to neutralization reaction where base comes instead of Metal oxide. Hence it can be concluded that Metal oxide is a base.


So Bases generally turn Red litmus to blue.


Hence the solution of any metal oxide will turn Red litmus to Blue but it has no effect on the Blue Litmus paper.
