Question

Assertion : Aluminum oxide react with acids as well as bases to produce salt and water
Reason : Aluminum oxide is amphoteric in nature.

• A. Only assertion is true
• B. Only reason is true
• C. Both assertion and reason are true
• D. Both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both assertion and reason are true

Some metal oxides, such as aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, etc., show both acidic as well as basic behavior. Such metal oxides can react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water. Metal oxides of this category are known as amphoteric oxides.
