amphoteric oxides

Postby Alyssa Bilinsky 2B » Thu Dec 07, 2023 4:31 pm

Hey! What is an easy way to tell whether an oxide is amphoteric, acidic, or basic? I am specifically struggling to figure out whether Ga2O3 is acidic, basic, or amphoteric.

Here are the chemical equations that show why that specific compound is amphoteric
Ga2O3+6HCl→2GaCl3+3H2O
Ga2O3+6NaOH→2Na2Ga(OH)6
