i)
Complete the table with the formulae of the stable oxides:

ElementFormula of oxide
NaNa2O\text{Na}_2\text{O}
AlAl2O3\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3
SSO2\text{SO}_2, SO3\text{SO}_3
ClCl2O\text{Cl}_2\text{O}, Cl2O7\text{Cl}_2\text{O}_7

ii)
The element that forms an amphoteric oxide among the given options is Aluminum (Al). Its oxide, Al2O3\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3, reacts with both acids and bases.

iii)
Write balanced equations showing the reaction of BeO with:

  • NaOH(aq)\text{NaOH}(aq): BeO(s)+2NaOH(aq)+H2O(l)⟶Na2[Be(OH)4](aq)\text{BeO}(s) + 2\text{NaOH}(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \longrightarrow \text{Na}_2[\text{Be}(\text{OH})_4](aq)
  • HCl(aq)\text{HCl}(aq): BeO(s)+2HCl(aq)⟶BeCl2(aq)+H2O(l)\text{BeO}(s) + 2\text{HCl}(aq) \longrightarrow \text{BeCl}_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l)
