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 slake lime made?
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
Why is quick lime called quicklime?
Quicklime is called so because of its property to react quickly with water, producing heat and forming calcium hydroxide. This reaction is known as slaking and results in a rapid increase in temperature, hence the term "quick" lime.
What is meant by slaking of lime?
Slaking of lime refers to the process of adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide) to produce hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide). This reaction releases heat and is used in various applications such as in construction, water treatment, and agriculture. Hydrated lime is often used to improve soil pH, treat wastewater, and make mortar or plaster.
What happens when you mix water and lime?
When water is mixed with lime (calcium oxide), a chemical reaction occurs to produce calcium hydroxide and release heat. This process is known as slaking and is used to create a hydrated lime paste that is commonly used in construction and as a mortar. The resulting mixture can also be used to create lime mortar for masonry work.
Is filtering a reversible or irreversible change?
Filtering is a reversible change because it can be undone by simply removing the filter and allowing the substances to mix again.
Why is slaking of lime is necessary?
- to obtain calcium oxide - to obtain calcium hydroxide
How many times the volume of fat lime increases compared to volume of quick lime on slaking?
2-2.5 times.
Why is slaking of lime regarded as a chemical change?
because new substance is formed in chemical composition & hence they cannot be reversed.
Explain why sublimation is regarded as a physical change but the slaking of lime is considered as a chemical change?
- Sublimation don't change the molecule; solid iodine or sublimated iodine are iodine. - Slaking of lime transform the calcium oxide in calcium hydroxide. A chemical change occur.
How is slake lime made?
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
How do you pronounce slaking?
"(Slaking)".

At what level do you evolves to slaking?
u dont slaking doesnt evolve. but a vigoroth evolves into slaking at lvl 32

What rock turns into plaster when heated?
Limestone is quarried, broken up and heated to specific controlled temps. This resulting "quicklime" is then 'slaked' ( a special soaking process) in water to make a dry hydrate that is bagged and sold to the public. When the dry lime is again mixed with water into a plaster, it will cure- because of the AIR- on the walls and the reabsorption of air/CO2, turns the powder back into limestone again. Cement is the opposite- adding water stars the curing process immediately. Lime plaster needs time, and thin application, for the air to cure it back into limestone. Limestone is NOT calcined at high heat-- the temp. is kept under 1800 deg to reduce the busted up stone to a 'quick' lime. Slaking does not take 6 months to 10 years. A controlled quick lime process takes only enough time for the added water to turn the lime back into a dry powder, which is now called Hydrated lime- sold in 50# bags- this is what most Americans buy to mix as plaster or mortar, or farm use. Quick lime is too dangerous to safely mix for the DIYer, so it is harder to find and buy. Quick lime IS sold as lump lime in bags, and the slaking process occurs then, under controlled conditions by experienced mixers. Hot lime gives off steam and heat in an exothermic event when the water and quick lime meet; this is where moisture in your eyes, nose, or skin causes burning during the slaking process. SOAKING the powdered hydrated lime in water for months and years produces a better, creamier product to work with. ( Slaking happens only once) This lime is very drying and can be caustic to skin, but is not dangerous, will not give off heat/steam; thousands of natural builders are using it daily.
Where to find a slaking in SoulSilver?
You cannot find Slaking in Soul Silver. To get one, you must capture a Slakoth by headbutting trees on route 25. Then evolve it into a Slaking. Or you could get a friend to trade you a slaking or you could transfer a Slaking from a Gen 3 game into Soul Silver via Pal Park.
