What are the two reactions used to make calcium hydroxide from limestone?

Firstly, the limestone is heated to produce quicklime (calcium oxide - CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The a small amount of water (H2O) is added to the quicklime, to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide - Ca(OH)2). In conclusion: limestone quicklime + carbon dioxide quicklime + water → slaked lime I really hope that helped! :)


When should Quicklime be added to soil?

I can think of no reason EVER to use quicklime in a gardening or agricultural context. One might use it to make a lime mortar for construction or rendering, or a lumpish or lime putty - but as an addition to soil? NO. IF you do use it wear protective gear - gloves and goggles at a minimum. I rarely wear goggles for any DIY, but I do when using 'quicklime'.


Is slaking of lime reversible?

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).


What are the processes of limestone to make it useful?

Lime created by burning oyster shells produces quicklime (calcium carbonate) which was used as a plaster in Roman times.


What does quicklime and water make?

Is h2co3 soluble?

YES!!! It is!!! It is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid).


Can raw meat be composted and if lime is added will it make a huge difference?

Yes, meat can be composted and it will make your pile quite hot. You don't need to add lime. I don't know what affect lime would have on your compost, as I've never used it. Though I have put meat in there.

What is quick lime used for?

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.


Would acid and lime stone make carbon dioxide?

Even a weak acid such as vinegar, added to limestone, will produce carbon Dioxide.


How do you get slaked lime from seashells?

the only way to get slaked lime is by burning the sea shells in a lime kiln then by adding cold water, this chemical reaction is by burning the carbon off from the calcium then replaced by oxygen atoms, this process will make the seashell lighter , when cold water is added this process will break down the seashell, then turn into hydrated lime.
