Calcium is extracted from one of its own compounds because it is not found by itself in nature. The process that it used to extract it is still the same as it was when a German scientist discovered it in the 1800's. Calcium chloride is melted down. Then an electrical current is passed though the molten compound, which releases pure calcium metal at one electrode of the apparatus.

Calcium Carbonate
Which metal is extracted from dolomite?
Dolomite's chemical name is calcium magnesium carbonate [CaMg(CO3)2]. Magnesium is extracted from it.
What are the natural sources of these elements of phosphorus calcium?
Phosphorus is extracted from Apatites (a class of tri-calcium Phosphate Mineral).Calcium is found in Dolomite, Calcite and Gypsum
Why calcium is obtained by electrolysis of molten calcium chloride rather than its solution?
if done in water solution, the extracted calcium would immediately react with the water to form calcium hydroxide.
What is the heat conductivity of Calcium?
Calcium is oxidized easier in air (pure calcium is hard to find) and has to be extracted from compounds (for example, lime). Its thermal conductivity is 201 W·m−1·K−1 at room temperature. =================================
What is the percent mass of calcium in a calcium supplement if 1.35-g of calcium carbonate is extracted from a 2.36-g pill?
The molar mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is 100.09 g/mol. To calculate the percent mass of calcium, you need to divide the molar mass of calcium (40.08 g/mol) by the molar mass of calcium carbonate. This gives you a result of 0.4006, meaning that calcium constitutes approximately 40.06% of the mass of calcium carbonate.
Which metal is less reactive than sodium but cannot be extracted heating with carbon in a furnace?
Several: Lithium, Barium, Strontium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium and Titanium
Explain the difference between leaching and calcification?
Leaching is a process in which minerals are extracted from a solid by dissolving it into a liquid. Calcification is the build up of calcium salts in body tissue.
