Question

Write the chemical equation for the reaction of bases with metal oxides.

Answer 1

1. All bases react with non-metallic oxides to form salt and water.
2. Eg: Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate.
3. Sodium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide —> Sodium carbonate + Water
   NaOH + CO —> Na₂CO₃ + H₂O
