Some metal oxides, such as Sc₂ O3, do not react with pure

Some metal oxides, such as Sc₂ O3, do not react with pure water, but they do react when the solution becomes either acidic or basic. Do you expect Sc₂ O3 to react when the solution becomes acidic or when it becomes basic? The solution should be acidic. The solution should be basic. The reaction will occur in both cases. Write a balanced chemical equation to support your answer. Express your answer as a net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
