In the following reactions, ZnO is respectively acting as a/an
`ZnO + Na_2O rArr NaZnO_(2)`
`ZnO+CO_(2) rarr ZnCO_(3)`

A

Base and base

B

Acid and acid

C

Acid and base

D

Base and acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(A) `underset("Acidic oxide")(ZnO) + underset("Basic oxide")(Na_2O) to Na_2 ZnO_2`
(B) `underset("Basic oxide")(ZnO) + underset("Acidic oxide")(CO_2) to ZnCO_3`
So ZnO behave like acid in equation (A) and base in equation (B).
