when ash of magnesium is dissolved in water then magnesium hydroxide is formed.
MgO + H2O---->Mg{oh}2
hence, the solution is basic in nature.The oxides of metals are basic in nature.Therefore,their aqueous solution turns red litmus blue.

Is barium nitrite basic acidic?
barium oxide is basic oxide.As Barium is a metal so metal forms basic oxide.
Is Rb2O acidic or basic?
It is strongly basic as it is an oxide of an alkali metal.
What is formed when a metal oxide react with water?
A basic solution
Is BeO basic?
YES!!!! BeO ) Beryllium Oxide) is an oxide of a metal. Metal oxides are basic.
Is metal oxide is a base?
Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.

Is strontium oxide a metal?
strontium is alkaline earth metal and its oxide is a basic alkaline.
What is the nature of metal-oxide?
A metallic oxide is basic in nature.
Is Rb2O acidic or basic?
It is strongly basic as it is an oxide of an alkali metal.
Is potassium oxide is a metal or nonmetal?
No potassium OXIDE is not: IT IS A METAL. IT IS A METAL.And it is not a NONmetal either.Potassium OXIDE K2O is a basic oxide: with water it forms (only) potassium hydroxide, KOHPotassium (elemental) is a alkali metal

When alkali metals react with oxygen and form compounds that dissolve in water they produce solutions that are what on the pH scale?
alkali metal + oxygen --> metal oxide metal oxide + water--> metal hydroxide metal hydroxides are strong alkalis, corrosive pH=14
Is MgO an acidic or basic anhydride?
Basic. Remember metal oxides of which magnesium oxide is one, are basic oxides.
Is NaI acidic neutral or basic?
sodium oxide, Na2O, is basic. This is because it is a metal oxide. Metal oxides tend to be basic while non metal oxides tend to be acidic.
Is potassium a metal metalloid or a non metal?
No potassium OXIDE is not: IT IS A METAL. IT IS A METAL.And it is not a NONmetal either.Potassium OXIDE K2O is a basic oxide: with water it forms (only) potassium hydroxide, KOHPotassium (elemental) is a alkali metal
