Is quicklime base or acid?

Quicklime (CaO) is alkaline in water.


What happens when you add calcium oxide and sulphuric acid?

CaO + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + H2O Possible reaction. Forming the salt calcium sulfate and water.


What happens when CaO dissolves in water?

this creats a base compound H2O+CaO-->H2CaO2 - Wrong. Correction; CaO(s) + H2O(l) ---> Ca[OH]2(aq) + heat Calcium hydroxide.


What is the balanced equation for the reaction of calcium oxide with hydrochloric acid?

acid + metal oxide -> metal salt + water hydrochloric acid + calcium oxide -> calcium chloride + water 2HCl (aq) + CaO (s) -> CaCl2 (s) + H2O (l)


What is the formula for calcium oxide plus hydrochloric acid to give calcium chloride plus water?

When 10kg of quick lime is dissolved in 30l of water so why the water started boiling even when it is not being heated?

When CaO is put into water it does not dissolve. It reacts with the water to form Ca(OH)2 and releases heat (this is an exothermic reaction) The heat of reaction boils the water.


What happens when you mix calcium oxide with water and carbon dioxide?

Calcium oxide is a very good chemical 'absorber' of both water and carbondioxide: CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 CaO + CO2 --> CaCO3 Both reactions are exothermic 'gas to solid phase' reacions


Is quick lime an acid?

Quick lime is a base. It reacts vigourously with water (hence the term "quick" living, as "quick and the dead") CaO + H2O -> CaOH + OH-


What kind of chemical will react with and neutralize an acid?
