Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
A basic oxide that is soluble in water is called an alkali metal oxide. These oxides react with water to form alkaline solutions.
Metal oxide + acid -> Salt + water e.g. Magnesium oxide + hydrochloric acid -> magnesium chloride + water MgO + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2O
Zinc oxide is not soluble in water.
Zinc oxide is not water soluble.
The general word equation for the reaction between acids and metal oxides is: acid + metal oxide -> salt + water. The specific salt formed depends on the acid and metal oxide involved in the reaction.

Insoluble metal oxides generally include group II metal oxides like calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Soluble metal oxides often belong to group I metals like sodium oxide (Na2O) and potassium oxide (K2O), as well as transition metals like iron oxide (Fe2O3) and copper oxide (CuO).
Zinc oxide is not soluble in water.
Zinc oxide is not water soluble.
Americium dioxide (AmO2) is not soluble in water and don't react with water.

acid+ metal oxide --> salt + water
The answer is Be(OH)2
Potassium oxide reacts with water to form soluble potassium hydroxide.
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is not very soluble in water.
Dissolve it in diluted nitric acid. WARNING: This is potentially highly dangerous and proper safeguards should be employed, for example gloves, facemask, fume cupboard with shield down etc etc. and take advice.
