Question

What type of products are formed when a metal oxide reacts with an acid?

  1. A salt only
  2. Salt and water
  3. A salt, water and hydrogen gas
  4. Hydrogen

hintHint:

When an acid reacts with a metal oxide both neutralize each other.

The correct answer is: Salt and water


    Metal oxides are basic in nature. Thus, when an acid reacts with a metal oxide both neutralize each other.
    The reaction of an acid with a metal oxide gives rise to a corresponding salt and water. 
    Metal oxide + Acid rightwards arrow Salt + Water
    ZnO + 2HCl rightwards arrowZnCl2 + H2O
    1. Metal oxides are basic in nature. Thus, when an acid reacts with a metal oxide both neutralize each other. In this reaction, respective salt and water are formed. Acid + Metal Oxide ⇨ Salt + Water. Example: Calcium is a metal, thus calcium oxide is a metallic oxide which is basic in nature. When an acid; such as hydrochloric acid; reacts with calcium oxide, neutralization reaction takes place and calcium chloride; along with water; is formed.
