Would it matter if calcium was used to make water pipes?

Yes, it would matter if calcium was used to make water pipes. Calcium can react with water to form calcium carbonate, a compound that can deposit on the inner walls of the pipes and reduce water flow. Over time, this buildup can lead to clogging and reduced water pressure.


Why calcium is not used as water pipes?

Calcium is not used as water pipes because it is a very reactive metal that easily forms compounds with oxygen and water, leading to corrosion.
