Question

what happens when basic oxide are dissolved in water

Answer 1

Some acidic oxides such as those of sulfur and nitrogen are air pollutants because they react with moisture in the air to produce acid rain. Water insoluble oxidesare classed as acidic if they react with bases to form salts.

Answer 2

Hey there !

It has reactions as both a base and an acid. Reaction with water: Aluminumoxide is insoluble in water and does not react like sodium oxide and magnesium oxide. The oxide ions are held too strongly in the solid lattice to react with the water.
