Limestone, calcium carbonate, is heated until it glows. It will give off carbon dioxide and change into calcium oxide.
Calcium oxide is called quicklime because it hisses and swells up when a drop of water is added to it, just as if it was alive. "Quick" used to be used to indicate that something was living, so in this case it would be alive-lime, or quicklime.

When you heat limestone and it is mixed with carbon dioxide in the air, it makes quick lime.
When you put quicklime into water, it turns into slaked lime.
You don't need carbon dioxide from the air. Limestone is calcium barbonate CaCO3 and when you heat it carbon dioxide is driven off (CO2) leaving quicklime (calcium oxide CaO). Adding Walter (like slaking a thirst) creates slaked lime, calium hydroxide Ca(OH)2

CaCo3 + heat = CaO + Co2

Is quick lime a drying agent?
Yes.
Is lime element mixture compound?
Lime is a compound.
What is lime powder made of?
at lime and lime inc.
Does quick lime produce fire if mixed with water?
yes
Is quick lime is compound?
Yes, calcium oxyde - CaO.
How is slake lime made?
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
What is the difference between quick lime and lime water?
Quick lime is calcium oxide, CaO. Lime water is calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water. Lime water can be made by dissolving quick lime in water.
What is the element present in quick lime?
There are TWO(2) elements present in quicklime. They are calcium and oxygen. Chemically it is calcium oxide (CaO).
How many element are present in quick lime?
Two elements--calcium and oxygen--are present in quick lime.
What is the symbol for lime?
CaO <-- this is also called as quick lime
Is quick lime an acid?
Quick lime is a base. It reacts vigourously with water (hence the term "quick" living, as "quick and the dead") CaO + H2O -> CaOH + OH-
What is the difference of quick lime and washing soda?
Quick lime is calcium oxide. Washing soda is sodium carbonate.
Why does rain react with limestone?
its kind of hard to explain. orignaly it dosent react with water (execpt from erosion) until it is made into calcium oxide using a blast furnace the new quick lime then is recated with water to form slaked lime which can be made into lime water by adding even more water. then there is another proces where slaked lime can be turned into limestone again and the whole cycle again. 1) calcium carobante + heat = quick lime + carbon doixide or CaCO3 + heat = CaO + C(O)2 2) quick lime + water = slaked lime CaO + (H)2O = Ca(OH)2
What is combo of Sulfur quick lime nafta?
if you take quick lime add some sulfur and then lastly add nafta to it, it will make fire.
Why is quick lime called quicklime?
This is because they grow quicker than the ordinary lime!!
What element is present in the lime?
Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
What does calcium oxide produce when it reacts with water?
calcium oxide (quick lime) produces calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) when reacts with water.
