Chapter 8, Problem 8.97QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reaction of carbon dioxide with lithium oxide has to be given

Concept Introduction:

According to physical and chemical properties, the elements can be divided into metals, non-metals and metalloids.

In a group, the metallic character of an element increases from top to bottom whereas in a period, it decreases from left to right.

Oxide is the compound formed when oxygen reacts with another element. Oxides formed with metals are basic.

Oxides formed with metals are most probably basic. Most of oxides formed with nonmetals are acidic.

Amphoteric oxides have the properties of bases and acid. Elements that are in the intermediate position of periodic table form amphoteric oxide.

Reaction of basic oxide with $C{O}_2$ produces a carbonate salt.
