Why do Farmers Use Slaked Lime For Animal Pens?
Whoever told you that slaked lime is made for animal pens is messing with you and its alot of nonsense
What is the limestone cycle?
This is the cycle which tyrns lime stone to - quiclime form this to -Slaked lime from this to - lime water an this turns into limestone and a cycle is created.
What is burnt ground limestone?
Slaked lime also called quicklime or simply lime.
How is slaked lime produced from limestone?
Heat it, the limestone (calcium carbonate) loses carbon dioxide to leave qucklime (calcium oxide). Add water to form slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
Explain the advantages of using slaked lime instead of powdered limestone for neutralising acidic soil?
Slaked lime is much more alkaline and effective at reducing acidity quickly - it is Ca(OH)2 whereas powdered limestone is CaCO3 and not as alkaline/basic. CO2 is also given off when the limestone reacts with the acid. Water is given of when slaked lime reacts. Mathematically it takes 100 g of limestone to 73g of HCl (as an example) where it would take only 74g of slaked lime per 73g HCl.
Why does plaster get harder with age?
Plaster is a mixture of slaked lime ( Ca(OH)2 ) and water. The slaked lime in the plaster reacts with the carbon dioxide in the air and produces limestone making a strong rock.
Why do the neutralising effects of powdered limestone on soil last longer than that of slaked lime?
no

Is calcium sulphate and lime the same?
No. Slaked lime is Ca(OH)2 and quicklime is CaO. Limestone is CaCO3 . CaSO4 when hydrated would be gypsum. It is not lime.
Is calcium sulphate and lime the same product?
No. Slaked lime is Ca(OH)2 and quicklime is CaO. Limestone is CaCO3 . CaSO4 when hydrated would be gypsum. It is not lime.
Is Calcium chloride slaked lime?
No. Slaked lime is calcium hydroxide.
Is slaking of lime reversible?
Yes but it is not a single step reversal. You start off with Limestone (CaCO3) you heat this and drive off Carbon dioxide (CO2) making Quicklime (CaO). You then slake the Quicklime by adding water (H2O) to make Slaked Lime (Ca(OH)2). The Slaked lime will slowly turn back into limestone by reacting with the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the air - it is Carbonated - to make Limestone (CaCO3).
How is slaked lime made from quicklime?
slaked lime is made by adding water to quicklime.
