Is lime and vinegar the same?
No. Lime is a base, alkali, primarily calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. Vinegar is an acid (acetic acid)
Is quick lime the same as the lime water?
No. Quicklime is calcium oxide a compound with the formula CaO. Lime water is calcium hydroxide or Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water, producing a very basic solution. Lime, will form lime water if it is dissolved in water though. Dry calcium hydroxide is known as slaked lime.
Is there any difference in lime water and slaked lime . If any why do you use different name?
Yes, there is a difference. Slaked lime is the term used to refer to solid calcium hydroxide, and lime water is a calcium hydroxide solution. Admittedly, two distinct terms seems like overkill, but it happens a lot... for example, "salt" and "brine" is essentially the same situation. The terms are historical, and most chemists would just say "calcium hydroxide" and "calcium hydroxide solution" instead.
What is the electronic configuration of calcium in calcium hydroxide?
The electronic configuration of calcium in calcium hydroxide is the configuration of a calcium +2 ion, which is the same as the configuration of the preceding noble gas, argon.
Can Limestone be used for the smell of a decompostion of a dead animal?
Lime (quicklime) is made from limestone- but it is not the same thing. Agricultural lime is powdered limestone. Quicklime is limestone (calcium carbonate) that has been roasted and changed to Calcium Oxide. Slaked quicklime is quicklime that has had water added- Calcium hydroxide. Quicklime is used for odor control.
How come slaked lime water calcium hydroxide plus water loses it alkalinity over time I am a hobby mushroom grower?
Lime water, or calcium hydroxide solution, reacts with the carbon dioxide of the air.Ca(OH)2 + CO2 --> CaCO3 + H2OThis is the same reaction which we use in the lab for a test for carbon dioxide.But then a further reaction happens:CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O --> Ca(HCO3)2 The calcium hydrogen carbonate is soluble, so the solution looks the same as it did at the start. As the hydroxide ions are no longer present, the alkalinity is reduced. These reactions are a nuisance in the lab, because lime water which 'goes off' like this will not give the 'carbon dioxide goes milky' test.
Is lime water the same as hydrochloric acid?
NO!!!! They are two different substances. Hydrochloric Acid has the formula 'HCl' Lime water is a suspension of calcoum hydroxide , whose formula is Ca(OH)2.
Do lime and lye have any of the same elements?
yes calcium
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.
How is chloride of lime chemically diffrent from calcium chloride?
These two names describe the same chemical compound. "Chloride of lime" was the earlier name, but calcium chloride is now strongly preferred.
What will happen if ammonium nitrate and calcium hydroxide is added at the same time?
Nothing. They do not react.
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.
