Question

Amphoteric Oxide among the oxide

• A. Ag₂O
• B. BeO
• C. SnO₂
• D. CO₂

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Among the options given, the amphoteric oxide is BeO, beryllium oxide.
Amphoteric oxides are oxides that can act as both acidic and basic compounds. They can react with both acids and bases to form salts and water. BeO is an example of an amphoteric oxide because it can react with acids to form salts and with bases to form beryllates.
The other options listed do not exhibit amphoteric behavior:
Ag₂O (silver(I) oxide) is a basic oxide.
SnO₂ (tin(IV) oxide) is an acidic oxide.
CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is an acidic oxide.

Answer 2

Correct Answer: SnO₂
 
Explanation:
An amphoteric oxide is one that reacts with both acids and bases to form salts and water.

Let's analyze each option:
• Ag₂O (Silver(I) oxide): Basic in nature.
• BeO (Beryllium oxide): Slightly amphoteric, but not strongly so.
• SnO₂ (Tin(IV) oxide): Clearly amphoteric — reacts with both acids and strong bases.
• CO₂ (Carbon dioxide): Acidic oxide.

Therefore, the best choice among the given options is: SnO₂
