Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
carbon dioxide calcium oxide (quicklime) CaCO3 > CaO + CO2
quicklime is formed when lmesone is heated
Heating limestone causes it to undergo thermal decomposition, releasing carbon dioxide gas. This process forms calcium oxide, also known as quicklime, as a residue.
Once burnt limestone turns into calcium oxide which is known as quicklime.
calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide
Limestone is calcium carbonate (Ca(CO)3. When sufficiently heated it breaks down into lime (calcium oxide, CaO), and water (H2O).
When limestone is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction called thermal decomposition, where it breaks down into calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide gas. This is a chemical change because the chemical composition of the substance is altered during the process.
it is the decomposition reaction, CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 Heated Calcium Carbonate (limestone) forms Calcium Oxide (quicklime) and Carbon Dioxide
The Chemical formula for lime is CaO. This comes from Limestone (CaCO3). As Limestone is heated up to 1000 degrees, it lets of Carbon Dioxide and becomes CaO, or quicklime.
When heated, limestone forms two different things. It forms both calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This occurs because limestone is made up of calcium carbonate.
When limestone is heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition to produce calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is represented by the equation: CaCO3 (s) -> CaO (s) + CO2 (g).
