Quicklime (Calcium Oxide) is an efficient scavenger of moisture in its dehydrated state. A material that is mostly calcium oxide (CaO) in natural association with a lesser amount of magnesium oxide. Quicklime is capable of combining with water to form hydrated lime.
If limestone is heated strongly, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide is also called quicklime. It is yellow when hot, but white when cold.
Here are the equations for this reaction:
calcium carbonate calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
think off a forest fire it will destroy everything in its path
i can only make out only one which is that quicklime is used to destroy the bodies of infected animals or people.
The most important use is to make morar. A mixture of sand and water to hold bricks together.
It is used in agriculture to neutralize acid soils. It is also used in waste/sewage treatment to neutralize very acidic waste streams.

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.
Quick lime is a base. It reacts vigourously with water (hence the term "quick" living, as "quick and the dead") CaO + H2O -> CaOH + OH-
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
This is because they grow quicker than the ordinary lime!!
quick lime or slaked lime is added to acidic soil
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.
Two elements--calcium and oxygen--are present in quick lime.
CaO <-- this is also called as quick lime
Quick lime is a base. It reacts vigourously with water (hence the term "quick" living, as "quick and the dead") CaO + H2O -> CaOH + OH-
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
Quick lime is calcium oxide. Washing soda is sodium carbonate.
if you take quick lime add some sulfur and then lastly add nafta to it, it will make fire.
This is because they grow quicker than the ordinary lime!!
Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
calcium oxide (quick lime) produces calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) when reacts with water.
calcium
Yes.
