It is an AMPHOTERIC oxide. That is , in an environment of low(acid) pH it behaves as a BASE. In an environment of high(alkaline) pH it behaves as an ACID.

Is magnesium nitrate a base or acid?
Neither. Strictly speaking it is a very weak base. A Magnesium Nitrate solution is neutral with a pH of 7.0. Salts of strong acids are neutral. Magnesium Nitrate is salt of Nitric acid which is very strong acid.
Is calcium oxide an acid or base?
Calcium Chloride is neither acid nor base. It is a neutral salt.
Is sulphur oxide acidic?
Yes, it is acidic:with water it forms an acid (suflurous acid, H2SO3)with base it neutralizes by forming a sulfite salt or (a weaker) base anion SO32-
What is the reaction of adding Iron oxide to an acid?
salt and water. Salt depends on acid
Is AlOH3 a base acid or salt?
AcidActually, Al2O3 (s) is amphoteric, which means, depending on the environment, it can act as both a base and acid. We are able to illustrate this with these two reactions:(I) - Solving Al2O3 (s) in an acid (HCl):Al2O3 (s) + 6 HCl (aq) → 2 [AlCl3] (s, aq*) + 3 H2O (l)In this reaction, Al2O3 acts as a base-------------------------------------------------------------------(II) - Solving Al2O3 (s) in a base (NaOH):Al2O3 (s) + 3 NaOH (aq) ---> 2 Al(OH)3 (s) + 3 Na+Al(OH)3 (s) then reacts with NaOH to form NaAlO2:Al(OH)3 (s) + NaOH (aq) ---> NaAlO2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)Thus, we often write:Al2O3 (s) + 2 NaOH (aq) → 2 [NaAlO2] (s) + H2O (l)In this reaction, Al2O3 (s) acts as an acid-------------------------------------------------------------------*depending on amount of solvent used. Excessive amounts of solvent will solve the formed AlCl3 (s) into 2([Al3+][Cl-]3) (aq
