which oxides will react with aqueous sodium hydroxide but not with hydrochloric acid
Answers
Answer:
Oxides of Zn are amphoteric in nature. Therefore they react with both HCl and NaOH.Phosphorus(V) oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium phosphate(V) and water. Sulfur oxides are acidic oxides, they react with alkalis to form salt and Sulfur dioxide reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium sulfate(IV) and water.CaO is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide. This is because, NaOH is a base and it can only react with either an acidic oxide or an amphoteric oxide. BeO is an amphoteric oxide while B2O3 and SiO2 are acidic oxides.Yes, amphoteric oxides do react with sodium hydoxide to produce salt and water. Amphoteric oxides are the oxides that reacts with both acids as well as alkalis to give salt and water. ... Zinc oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium zincate and water as the products.
All nonmetallic oxides of sulphur, nitrogen or phosphorous react with Sodium Hydroxide to give Sulphites, Nitrates and Nitrites and Phosphates.
These nonmetallic oxides do not react with Acids such as HCl as they are acidic in nature, they only react with bases or water.
So, the correct answer is nonmetallic oxides.
