Question
Which of the following reaction produces a base?
Options:
A .  Reaction between metal and oxygen
B .  Reaction between a metal oxide and water
C .  Reaction between an acid and a base
D .   Heating of metal carbonates
Answer: Option B
:
B
- Metaloxides react with water to formbases by associating with hydroxyl ion present in water. For example, the chemical reaction between calcium oxide and water:
CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)
- Basic oxides can be made by the direct combination of metals with oxygen.
-Heating of metal carbonates produces metal oxide and releases CO2 gas.

- Salt and water are formed when acid reacts with base.
