Question
Write a balanced chemical equation for the following.
Beryllium oxide is treated separately with aqueous HCl and aqueous NaOH solutions.
Solution
Beryllium oxide (BeO) is an amphoteric oxide and thus, it reacts with both acid (HCl) as well as base (NaOH) to give the corresponding products.
- \[\ce{BeO + \underset{\text{(Acid)}}{2HCl}->BeCl2 + H2O}\]
- \[\ce{BeO + \underset{\text{(Base)}}{2NaOH}->Na2BeO2 + H2O}\]
