Is Calcuim oxide corrosive?
In solid form not, but in aqueous solution it is.
What has an oxide which reacts with water to gie an alkaline solution?
I think its calcium oxide and sodium oxide ... I'd better check that if I were you though
How do you prove metal oxide is basic?
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.
How can limewater be made from calcium carbonate?
limewater is a solution of calcium hydroxide. This is produced by the hydration of calcium oxide
Which element has a basic oxide of the type MO used to treat acidic soils?
calcium oxide
Is calcium oxide a basic oxide?
Yes, Calcium oxide is an alkaline as when Calcium oxide reacts with water (H2O) it dissolves as it is a soluble metal oxide. The solution produced when this occurs is an alkaline solution. This proves that Calcium oxide is an alkaline
Why is calcium oxide described as a base?
It reacts with acids, it dissolves exothermically in water to produce a basic solution.
Is Calcuim oxide corrosive?
In solid form not, but in aqueous solution it is.
Is copperII oxide an solid or an aqueous solution?
It is a dark grey solid.

Is the reaction between calcium oxide and water acidic basic or neutral?
basic
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.
Which element has a basic oxide of the type MO used to treat acidic soils?
calcium oxide
What happen when carbon dioxide is passed to a solution of calcium oxide?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is obtained.
What is the net ionic equation for calcium carbonate when heated forms calcium oxide and carbon dioxide?
Unless the equation has an aqueous compound in it, there is no net ionic equation. CaCO3 ====CO2+ CaO becouse its not in an aqueous solution no net ionic is needed you science teacher probably just wants to see if know when to use net ionic equations
