Which of the following oxides is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide ?

A

`BeO`

B

`B_(2)O_(3)`

C

`CaO`

D

`SiO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CaO` is a basic oxide, thus, it cannot react with `NaOH` which is an equally strong base. Others are acidic oxides:
`BeO +2NaOHrarr Na_(2)BeO_(2) +H_(2)O`
`B_(2)O_(3) +2NaOH rarr 2NaBO_(2) +H_(2)O`
`SiO_(2) _2NaOH rarr Na_(2)SiO_(3) +H_(2)O`
