Explain how alkali metal oxide reacts with water?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Alkali metal oxides `M_(2)O, M_(2)O_(2)` and `MO_(2)` are EASILY hydrolyzed by water to form the HYDROXIDES according to the following reactions:
` M_(2)O + H_(2)O to 2M^(+) + 2OH^(-) `
`M_(2)O_(2)+2H_(2)Oto2M^(+)+2OH^(-)+H_(2)O_(2)`
2MO_(2)+2H_(2)to`2M^(+)+2OH^(-)+H_(2)O_(2)+O_(2)`
