Basically, these are not reactions..
these are called oxides i.e. Amphoteric oxides.
Definition : An amphoteric oxide is an oxide that can act as either an acid or base in a reaction.....
Example : Al2O3 is an amphoteric oxide. When reacted with HCl, it acts as a base to form the salt AlCl3. When reacted with NaOH, it acts as an acid to form NaAlO2....

In chemistry, an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid as well as a base.[1] Many metals (such as copper, zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Amphoterism depends on the oxidation states of the oxide. Al2O3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide.
Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Amphoteric oxides include lead oxide and zinc oxide, among many others.
