Basic anhydride A metal oxide that reacts with

Basic anhydride A metal oxide that reacts with water to form a base. [Pg.264]

If a hydroxide formed by a metal oxide is water-soluble, it dissolves to form a basic solution. An oxide that reacts with water to form a basic solution is called a basic oxide or a basic anhydride. Table 7A on the next page lists oxides that form basic solutions with water. [Pg.788]

Oxides of metals are called basic anhydrides (or basic oxides) because many of them combine with water to form bases with no change in oxidation state of the metal (Figure 6-8). Anhydride means without water in a sense, the metal oxide is a hydroxide base with the water removed. Metal oxides that are soluble in water react to produce the corresponding hydroxides. [Pg.257]

Many oxides of metals that have a +1 or +2 charge are called basic oxides (basic anhydrides), because they will react with acids. [Pg.77]
