Calcium hydroxide is not en element it is a compound.
Calcium hydroxide is not en element it is a compound.
A compound is a mixture of elements. As the name implies, CH (or calcium hydroxide) is made up of calcium and hydrogen. Calcium and Hydrogen are elements. Thus, calcium hydroxide is a compound.
Calcium hydroxide contain calcium, hydrogen and oxygen.
The element found in both lime and lye is calcium. Lime is calcium oxide (CaO) and lye is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which can be produced from the reaction of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) with sodium carbonate.
Common name for calcium hydroxide is slaked lime or limewater. The chemical formula is Ca(OH)2 .
Calcium hydroxide is not en element it is a compound.
to get calcium hydroxide: Quicklime (calcium oxide) + water = slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) the calcium oxide has a chemical reaction with water to get the calcium hydroxide hope this helps :)
Calcium is the metal present in calcium hydroxide..
Calcium Hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide is an ionic compound. It is made up of a calcium ion (Ca2+) and two hydroxide ions (OH-), which are held together by ionic bonds resulting from the transfer of electrons from calcium to hydroxide.
Calcium is usually found in compounds rather than as a pure element. Common calcium compounds include calcium carbonate (found in limestone and eggshells) and calcium hydroxide (used in cement and as a food additive).
The chemical name is calcium hydrogen carbonate.
