Question

write a reaction of a basic metal oxide with hcl. Also,give chemical equation​

Answer 1

Answer: It leads to the production of salt and water.

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a metal oxide, it leads to the production of salt and water molecule. The equation involving this type of reaction follows:

For Example: Reaction of zinc oxide and an acid known as hydrochloric acid, the equation follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc oxide reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of zinc chloride and water molecule.

Hence, it leads to the production of salt and water.
