Because the oxide ion is basic, metal oxides react readily with acids.

(a) Write the net ionic equation for the following reaction. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under SATP conditions in your answer.)
FeO(s) + 2 HClO4(aq) Fe(ClO4)2(aq) + H2O(l)

i know the ansewr is FeO(s) + 2H^+(aq) --> Fe^2+(aq) + H_2O(l)but i do not know why. how do you know that HClo4 and Feclo4 split?

One of the reaction types you memorize. acid + base = salt + water.
base (FeO) + acid(HClO4) = salt [Fe(ClO4)] + water (H2O).
