d
Zinc oxide is an amphoteric oxide, as indicated by the following reactions:

$ {\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{ZnO}_{2}} $

${ { (Acid)\quad (Base) \quad (Salt)}} $

${\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCO}_{3}} $

${ { (Base) } \quad { (Acid) \quad (Salt)}}$
