Question

what happens when base react with non metal oxide explain with the help of an example why does this reaction tell us about the nature of non metal oxides

Answer 1

when bases react with non-metal oxides salt and water is formed.Ca(OH)2+CO2-----》CaCO3+H2O.This reactiob tells us that non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and when added to base neutralizes.

Answer 2

When bases react with a non metal oxide, then water and salt is performed.

• The non-metal oxides are naturally acidic. When a base reacts with a non-metal oxide they both neutralize each other resulting in the creation of both water and salt.

• The reaction for the same is - Non-metal oxide + Base → Water + Salt

• For example - 2NaOH + CO2 →→ Na2CO3 + H2O
