Answer the following question:
Answer variants:
\(CuO + 2HCl → CuCl_2 + H_2O\)
The oxides neutralises the bases to form salt and water
It reacts with basic oxides
Non-metal oxide + Base → Salt + Water
It reacts with acidic oxide
This reaction demonstrates that the oxides behave as bases
Differentiate the reaction between acids with metal oxides and bases with non-metal oxides.
i. Reaction of acids with metal oxides:
Example:
ii. Reaction of bases with non-metal oxides:
Example:
