    Which of the following oxides is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide?[AIPMT (S) 2009]

    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 :

    [b] 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.
