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

    A) \[5\times {{10}^{7}}\]                                   

    B) \[{{\text{v}}_{\text{0}}}\]           

    C)        \[\text{v-}{{\text{v}}_{\text{0}}}\]                         

    D)        \[\text{(}{{\text{v}}_{\text{0}}})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea Generally acids react with bases and bases (alkalies) react with acids. Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, being a strong alkali, never react with a basic oxide (compound). Among the given options,\[8\times {{10}^{7}}\]and BeO are amphoteric oxides, \[5\times {{10}^{-11}}\] is a acidic oxide and CaO is a basic oxide. Therefore, NaOH does not react with CaO.
