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.

What happen when base react with non metal oxide-?

The Metal hydroxides are strong base, therefore metal hydroxide decomposes on heating to form metal oxide and water.


If metal rusts is it the same metal?

Rust is the oxide of Iron. So iron has chemically combined with oxygen, to form a different compounds named iron oxide . This oxide contains in combined form iron and oxygen.


When metal oxide neutralizes acid what are produce?

When a metal oxide neutralizes an acid, it produces a salt and water. This reaction is a type of acid-base reaction where the metal oxide acts as a base and the acid acts as an acid. The salt formed usually contains the metal cation from the metal oxide and the anion from the acid.


Is lithium a base?

Lithium is a metal, if reacted with water, it will create lithium hydroxide, a strong base.


How do you classify the oxide of aluminum?

Aluminum oxide is classified as a metal oxide. Specifically, it is known as an amphoteric oxide, meaning it can react both as an acid (when combined with a base) and as a base (when combined with an acid).


If Zirconium Reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or base?

Its a metal oxide so it'll be a base. Acids are mainly made with a non-metal oxide, though some metal (amphoteric) oxidesare also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides


Is gold oxide an acid or a base?

Gold oxide is neither an acid nor a base. It is a metal oxide, which means it is a compound that contains a metal (gold) and oxygen. Metal oxides tend to be basic in nature, meaning they can react with acids to form salts and water.


Is CaCI2 an acid base salt or oxide?

CaCl2, or calcium chloride, is a salt composed of a metal cation (calcium) and a non-metal anion (chloride). It is not an acid, base, or oxide.


What is the product of metal oxide and water?

The product of a metal oxide reacting with water is generally a metal hydroxide. This reaction typically produces heat and is known as a base-catalyzed hydrolysis.


What is the reaction of metallic oxide with water?

Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide, which is a strong base


Is CaO a metal oxide or non metal oxide?

Calcium is a metal, therefore this is a metal oxide.


Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?

Calcium oxide is a BASE. An Alkali is a soluble base. Calcium oxide per se, is not very soluble.
