<u>Answer:</u> The main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

<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:

MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

Hence, the main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

How many moles would be in 85.OmL of 0.750M KOH?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: There are 0.0637 moles present in 85.0 mL of 0.750 M KOH.

Explanation:

Given: Volume = 85.0 mL (1 mL = 0.001 L) = 0.085 L

Molarity = 0.750 M

It is known that molarity is the number of moles of solute present in liter of a solution.

Therefore, moles present in given solution are calculated as follows.

Molarity = \frac{moles}{Volume (in L)}\\0.750 M = \frac{moles}{0.085 L}\\moles = 0.0637 mol

Thus, we can conclude that there are 0.0637 moles present in 85.0 mL of 0.750 M KOH.
