D) acid and base
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Although ZnO is an amphoteric oxide but in given reaction. [a] $ \underset{acid}{\mathop{ZnO}},+\underset{base}{\mathop{Na _2O}},\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{salt}{\mathop{Na _2ZnO _2}}, $ [b] $ \underset{base}{\mathop{ZnO}},+\underset{acid}{\mathop{CO _2}},\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{salt}{\mathop{ZnCO _3}}, $
