Which of the following statements is not correct?
(A) All metal carbonates react with acid to give a salt, water and carbon dioxide
(B) All metal oxides react with water to give salt and acid
(C) Some metals react with acids to give salt and hydrogen
(D) Some non metal oxides react with water to form an acid
Answer
-
All metal carbonates react with acid to give
salt, water and CO
2
. For eg:
-
All metal oxides react with water to give
metal hydroxides
and not salt and acid. For eg.
-
Some metals react with acids to give
salt and hydrogen
. For eg.
- Some non-metal oxides react with water to form an acid . For eg.
So, the correct option is (b) All metal oxides react with water to give salt and acid
