    Which of the following can behave as amphoteric oxide?

    A)  \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]                                 

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[S{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]is an amphoteric oxide. It dissolves in both acid and base. \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}2NaA{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
