Explanation:

(a) potassium oxide with water

$K_2O(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2KOH(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of potassium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to give 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

(b) diphosphorus trioxide with water

$P_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_3(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide reacts with 2 moles of water to give 2 moles of phosphorus acid.

(c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid,

$Cr_2O_3(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

According to reaction,1 mole of chromium(III) oxide reacts with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 2 moles of chromium(III) chloride and 3 moles of water.

(d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

$SeO_2 (s)+2KOH (aq)\rightarrow K_2SeO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

According to reaction,1 mole of selenium dioxide reacts with 2 moles of potassium hydroxide to give 1 mole of potassium selenite and 1 mole of water.
