Is tin oxide an amphoteric oxide?

In: Elements and Compounds [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes it is amphoteric it has approximately the same amount of ionic and covalent character making it amphoteric and thus reacting with both Acids such as HCl and Bases such as NaOH.]

SnO₂ + 4HCl _{(aq, Conc) / (g)} -> SnCl₄ + 2H₂O

SnO₂ + NaOH + H₂O -> Na₂⁺[Sn(OH)6]^2-_(aq)

SnO + 2HCl -> SnCl₂ + H₂O
SnO + 2NaOH + H₂O -> Na₂⁺[Sn(OH)4]^2-_(aq)

Is zinc oxide an amphoteric oxide?
Yes, it is amphoteric, at the same time it behaves like acid AND like base: it acts as an acid when in a base: ZnO(s) + 2OH-(aq) +H20(l) -> [Zn(OH)4]2-(aq) it reacts as a base when in acid: ZnO(s)...
Why is aluminium oxide called amphoteric oxide?
Aluminium oxide is called Amphoteric oxide because it has both acidic and basic properties. Basic property: Al2O3 + H+ ----> Al3+ + H2O Acidic properties: Al2O3 + OH- + H2O----> [Al(OH)4]-
