Hello Student
Na2O dissolves acid
Na2O + HCl → NaCl + H2O
This indicates that Na2O is basic.
Cl2O7 reacts with NaOH,indicating its basic nature.
Cl2O7 + NaOH → NaClO4 + H2O
Na2O dissolves acid
Na2O + HCl → NaCl + H2O
This indicates that Na2O is basic.
Cl2O7 reacts with NaOH,indicating its basic nature.
Cl2O7 + NaOH → NaClO4 + H2O

The question says reaction with water.
So for Na2O, it will be
Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH
Hence Sodium oxide forms Sodium hydroxide thus it is a basic oxide
Similarly for Cl2O7 , it will be
Cl2O7 + H20 → 2HClO4
Hence Cl2O7 reacts with water to form perchloric acid thus it is an acidic oxide.
Hope the answer helped you
