Are Group 2 oxides soluble in water?
I know Group 2 hydroxides are soluble and their solubility increases down group 2, is it the same for group 2 oxides?
Group 2 oxides REACT with water.
CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2
But as the solubility of the hydroxides decreases ascending the group magnesium oxide reacts only slowly with water.
But the answer to your question is no, they are not soluble, they react.
CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2
But as the solubility of the hydroxides decreases ascending the group magnesium oxide reacts only slowly with water.
But the answer to your question is no, they are not soluble, they react.

Thank you PRSOM
Do you mean the group 2 of periodic table? of course, the oxides of this group can oxidise again!
example:
MgO + H2O -> Mg(OH)2
But they are not solve in water, they react!
example:
MgO + H2O -> Mg(OH)2
But they are not solve in water, they react!

But... that isn't oxidation.

You were right. Have controlled your statement by oxidation numbers, guess I was a bit to fast and eager with my reply. Thanks that you told ne.
