<u>Answer:</u> The main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Main group elements are the elements that are present in s-block and p-block.
The metals that are the main group elements are located in Group IA, Group II A and Group III A.
Oxides are formed when a metal or a non-metal reacts with oxygen molecule. There are two types of oxides which are formed: Acidic oxides and basic oxides.
- Acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals.
- Basic oxides are formed by the metals.
When a metal oxide is reacted with water, it leads to the formation of a base.
The general formula of the oxide formed by Group II-A metals is 'MO'
The chemical equation for the reaction of metal oxide of Group II-A and water follows:

Hence, the main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is 
Because they usually are weak.

Answer:
Double replacement:
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
2AsCl + 3H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6HCl
The given reaction is double displacement reaction. In this reaction arsenic trichloride and hydrogen sulfide react and produced arsenic sulfide and hydrogen chloride. In double displacement reaction both anion an cation of reactants are exchanged with each other.
Double replacement:
It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.
General equation:
AB + CD → AD +CB
