Why is calcium oxide called quick lime?
Calcium Oxide reacts with CO2 in the air to convert back into limestone. It also reacts violently with water. It will also blind you quickly. Probably one of these.
If you heated limestone how would you expect the mass of the limestone to compare with the mass of calcium oxide?
When you heat limestone it becomes calcium oxide but if you mean calcium carbonate then it should go down slightly due to the release of CO2
Calcium carbonate is a type of hydrogenous sediment that can be buried and hardened into .?
Calcium oxide.
What are the products when limestone is heated strongly?
carbon dioxide calcium oxide (quicklime) CaCO3 > CaO + CO2
What is the chemical formula of quicklime?
The Chemical formula for lime is CaO. This comes from Limestone (CaCO3). As Limestone is heated up to 1000 degrees, it lets of Carbon Dioxide and becomes CaO, or quicklime.

What gas does limestone produce when heated?
Calcium oxide
When limestone is heated what gas is made?
Calcium oxide
What are the chemical components of limestone?
calcium oxide calcium carbonate and something else....
Calcium carbonate is a type of hydrogenous sediment that can be buried and hardened into .?
Calcium oxide.
What decomposes limestone?
heat. limestone (CaCO3) ---> carbon dioxide (CO2) + calcium oxide (CaO)
What is the white solid produced when heating limestone?
When limestone (CaCO3) is heated, calcium oxide is produced!
How is limestone produced and what it is commonly used for?
Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. Limestone and its products have many uses: for example, in mortar, cement, concrete and glass.
What is formed when limestone is heated?
When heated, limestone forms two different things. It forms both calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This occurs because limestone is made up of calcium carbonate.
What are the products when limestone is heated strongly?
carbon dioxide calcium oxide (quicklime) CaCO3 > CaO + CO2
When limestone is heated does I become sandstone?
Once burnt limestone turns into calcium oxide which is known as quicklime.
