What is the difference between quick lime and lime water?

Quicklime is calcium oxide (CaO), a white crystalline solid obtained by heating limestone in a kiln. Lime water, on the other hand, refers to a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in water. Quicklime is a solid, while lime water is a liquid solution.

Why does rain react with limestone?

its kind of hard to explain. orignaly it dosent react with water (execpt from erosion) until it is made into calcium oxide using a blast furnace the new quick lime then is recated with water to form slaked lime which can be made into lime water by adding even more water. then there is another proces where slaked lime can be turned into limestone again and the whole cycle again. 1) calcium carobante + heat = quick lime + carbon doixide or CaCO3 + heat = CaO + C(O)2 2) quick lime + water = slaked lime CaO + (H)2O = Ca(OH)2


What is the difference between slaked lime and lime water?

When you slake a lime an leave it for a few months, there will be a layer of water (providing you used a sufficient amount) ontop of the slaked lime putty. this water is limewater and is clear but contains tiny particles in suspension. The putty is what we refer to as slaked lime.
