Interpretation:
Oxide of an element that is basic has to be identified from the given options
Concept Introduction:
According to physical and chemical properties, the elements can be further divided into metals, non-metals and metalloids.
In a group, the metallic character of an element increases from top to bottom whereas in a period, it decreases from left to right.
The classification elements in the periodic table as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids can be given as
Oxide is a compound which is formed when oxygen reacts with another element. Oxides formed with metals are basic
Oxides formed with metals are most probably basic. Most of oxides formed with nonmetals are acidic.
Amphoteric oxides have the properties of bases and acid. Elements that are in the intermediate position of periodic table form amphoteric oxide.

- Phosphate buffers are important in regulating the pH of intracellular fluids. If the concentration ratio of H2PO4/HPO42 in a sample of intracellular fluid is 1.1: 1, what is the pH of this sample of intracellular fluid? H2PO4(aq)HPO42(aq)+H+(aq)Ka=6.2108arrow_forwardThe reaction of calcium hydride, CaH2, with water can be characterized as a Lewis acid-base reaction: CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+2H2(g) Identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base among the reactants. The reaction is also an oxidation-reduction reaction. Identify the oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, and the changes in oxidation number that occur in the reaction.arrow_forwardSodium perchlorate, NaClO4, is produced by electrolysis of sodium chlorate, NaClO3. If a current of 2.50 103 A passes through an electrolytic cell, how many kilograms of sodium perchlorate are produced per hour?arrow_forward
- When carbon dioxide dissolves in water it reacts to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), which can ionize in two steps. H2CO3(aq)HCO3(aq)+H+(aq)Kc1=4.2107HCO3(aq)CO32(aq)+H+(aq)Kc2=4.81011 Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction H2CO3(aq)CO32(aq)+2H+(aq)arrow_forwardThe formula for tartaric acid is preferably written as H2C4H4O6 rather than as C4H6O6. Explain why.arrow_forwardAluminum is produced commercially by the electrolysis of Al2O3 in the presence of a molten salt. If a plant has a continuous capacity of 1.00 million A, what mass of aluminum can be produced in 2.00 h?arrow_forward
