Answer:

Base

Explanation:

Acid + Base ⇒ Salt + Water (Neutralization Reaction)

So the substances forming salt and water must be acid and base.

Since HCl is acid so the Metal Oxide would be the base.

The answer to your question is option b, a base. This is because the question clearly tells you that one reactant is an acid. Then, it tells you that an acid plus something gives you a salt and water, as products

From background knowledge, we know that a base plus acid gives you a salt and water. The hydroxide ions from the base neutralise the hydrogen ions from the acid, which gives you water ( as it has a pH of 7).

Therefore, your answer is b, a base

Aniline can be produced from nitro-benzene by reduction. When nitro-benzene reacts with tin (Sn) + hydrochloride acid (HCl) then aniline is produced. The Sn + HCl forms free hydrogen ions which converts the nitro group of the benzene ring to amine group, which is aniline. In place of Sn + HCl. One can use palladium (Pd) hydrogen mixture in presence of ethanol (EtOH). There produces a side product in this reaction which is cyclohexyl amine. The reaction can be shown as.
