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 sulphate ion same as sulphate radical?

Yes, sulphate ion and sulphate radical are the same thing. The formula for the sulphate ion is (SO4)2-, and it is a polyatomic anion consisting of one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms.


Is lime water the same as hydrochloric acid?

No -limewater is a base, specfically a solution of calcium hydroxide or Ca(OH)2 Hydrochloric acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride or HCl


What is the product of calcium chloride and sodium chloride?

The product of calcium chloride and sodium chloride would be a mixture of the two salts, not a chemical reaction that produces a new compound. Each salt would retain its individual properties and be present in the mixture.


What is the common name for calcium carbonate?

The common name of Calcium carbonate may be Chalk, but chemically that's not true, if it is the blackboard writing chalk. This chalk is actually Calcium sulfate, which is mistaken as Calcium carbonate, as its manufacturing process uses Calcium carbonate.So, I think the common name for chalk should be Limestone, which is the most common mineral form of this compound.


Why does the milkiness disappear when CO2 is added in lime water for a long time?

When you first start to bubble carbon dioxide through limewater (calcium hydroxide solution), they react and form calcium carbonate. This isn't very soluble, so you see it as a mist of fine particles of chalk, which we describe as 'the limewater has gone cloudy/ milky'. As you continue to bubble, carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form carbonic acid, which dissolves the calcium carbonate, so the milkiness disappears. Here are the reactions: Ca(OH)2 + CO2 --> CaCO3 + H2O forming the milkiness 2H2CO3 + CaCO3 --> Ca(HCO3)2 + H2O +CO2 removing the milkiness again This second reaction is the same one as for rainwater flowing over limestone rocks.

Is calcium sulphate and agricultural gypsum the same?

Yes, calcium sulphate and agricultural gypsum are the same compound. Gypsum is the common name for calcium sulphate in its hydrated form, commonly used in agriculture to improve soil structure and provide essential calcium and sulfur nutrients to plants.


Is Calcium chloride slaked lime?

No, calcium chloride is not the same as slaked lime. Calcium chloride is a chemical compound made of calcium and chlorine, while slaked lime, also known as calcium hydroxide, is a compound made of calcium, oxygen, and hydrogen. They have different chemical properties and uses.


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 there a difference between calcium sulphate and calcium sulfate dihydrate?

No, calcium sulfate and calcium sulphate are the same chemical compound, commonly known as gypsum. Calcium sulfate dihydrate specifically refers to the hydrated form of calcium sulfate, where each molecule contains two molecules of water (CaSO4 ∙ 2H2O).


Do lime and lye have any of the same elements?

yes calcium


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 Sodium Bicarbonate and Agricultural Lime the same thing?

No, the main componant to Agricultural Lime is Calcium Carbonate rather than sodium, making them chemically different.


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.


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 is chloride of lime chemically diffrent from calcium chloride?

Chloride of lime, also known as calcium hypochlorite, is a compound with the formula Ca(ClO)2 and is commonly used as a disinfectant. Calcium chloride, on the other hand, is a different compound with the formula CaCl2 and is used for de-icing roads and controlling dust. The main chemical difference is in the arrangement of the elements and their chemical properties.
