Some metal oxides, such as Sc2O3, do not react with pure water, but they do react when the solution becomes either acidic or basic. Do you expect Sc2O3 to react when the solution becomes acidic or when it becomes basic? Write a balanced chemical equation to support your answer.

reacts with an acidic solution

Explanation:

Scandium Oxide is a basic metal oxide which therefore reacts with acidic solution. An oxide is  a compound that contains only two elements, one of which is oxygen .

The objective of this question is to Write a balanced chemical equation to support your answer.

The chemical equation to support the reaction of with acidic solution is as follows:

Assuming the acidic solution to be HCl

The ionic equation :

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
