Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When oxides of active metals react with acids, they form water and salts. This reaction is a type of acid-base reaction, where the oxide acts as a base and neutralizes the acid to form water and salt. Therefore, option C, "water and a salt", is the correct answer. Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they do not reflect the typical products of the reaction between metal oxides and acids.
