metallic oxide react with water to form its hydroxides. all these metal oxide are basic in nature due to more electropositive nature of metal atom.
EX. M2O + H2O --> 2MaOH
The alkali metal oxides M2O (M = Li, Na, K, Rb)
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH sodium oxide dissolve in water afford sodium hydroxide

Is lithium oxide a basic or acidic oxide?
Lithium oxide is a basic oxide: When it dissolves in pure water, the resulting solution has a pH value greater than 7.0.
What happens to a solution when a metal oxide dissolves in water?

Does aluminium acetate dissolves in water?
Yes you will end up with aluminum oxide precipitates and an aqueous aceitic acid.
What is produced when a non metallic oxide is mixed with water?
This is a possible way to get an oxy-acid: CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
What happens to the temperature of water after calcium oxide is added?
Temperature rises.
What is formed when a non metallic oxide dissolves in water?
ball sacks
How will you show that metals form basic oxides?
Metallic oxides are basic in nature, because when metallic oxide dissolves in water it forms corresponding base, which turns red litmus to blue.Those metallic oxide which dissolve in water are known as alkali, while those which do not dissolve in water are known as base
What substance is formed when water is added to metallic oxide?
when wate ris adde to metallic oxide it forms a hard substance
What substances are formed when potassium oxide dissolves in water?
When potassium oxide is dissolved in water it forms potassium hydroxide.
What is formed when water is mixed with metallic oxide?
With some oxides metallic hydroxides are formed.
What happens when magnesium oxide is put in water?
If you look on the pH scale, water is neutral, so adding magnesium oxide will turn the water from neutral to an alkali. I hope this helped:)
What happens when cold water is added to calcium oxide?
Calcium oxide + water
What name is given to basic oxides which can dissolve in water?
a basic oxide that dissolves in water is called an alkali
What happens if you put sulfur in water?
it dissolves
What happens when iron oxide is mixed with water?
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) in insoluble in water.
What happens when ice dissolves into water?
The temperature of water decrease.
What happens to water when sugar dissolves in water?
it falls to the bottem of the water
