Question
Give a balanced equation for the following reaction of synthesis involving the formation of:
An alkali – from a basic oxide – sodium oxide

Solution
`"Na"_2"O"` (metal oxide) is basic oxide
To obtain alkali from `"Na"_2"O"`, dissolve basic oxide in water
\[\ce{Na2O + H2O->\underset{\text{alkali}}{2NaOH}}\]
