Na2O Sodium Oxide is a baseNa2O + H2O
–> 2NaOH MgO Magnesium Oxide is a baseMgO + H2O –>
Mg(OH)2 Al2O3 Aluminium Oxide is amphoteric (can act as acid or a
base)As a base: Al2O3 + 6HCl –>
2AlCl3 + 2H2OAs an acid:
Al2O3 + 6NaOH + 3H2O –>
2Na3Al(OH)6 SiO2 Silicon Dioxide is acidicSiO2 + 2NaOH
–> 2Na2SiO3 + H2O P4O10 AcidicP4O10 + 6H2O
–> 4H3PO4 SO2 AcidicSO2 + H2O –>
H2SO3 SO3 AcidicSO3 + H2O –>
H2SO4
