What does matter change into if heat is added?

Heat makes most things expand. Or in other words, heat makes matters less dense.(With the very known and remarkable exception of water, ice which will decrease in size when it becomes water and becomes more dense until it reaches 4 degrees Celsius, from which point on it will expand again.)Heat can make matters change state.Ice (solid) into water (liquid), water (liquid) into steam (gas).


How is limestone used in mortar?

Simple limestone, crushed can be used with sand as a mortar, but it is VERY slow in reacting after it has (moisture) set. If you use limestone from which the water of crystallization has been baked out = quicklime, then the reaction will take place more quickly, as the quicklime gradually forms new crystal bonds, including some with the sand (=silica). Portland cement has a similar but more powerful reaction, except VERY finely divided (=highly reactive) silica is added in the form of diatomaceous earth. Gypsum is also added to the mix and all is baked together. The reactions formed are complex calcium silicates and sulphates and carbonates, and take many years for their final form. This is greatly enhanced, by keeping the concrete wet covered for at least 7 days, and even 28 days is often used where maximum strength is needed. This is accomplished, by allowing the new crystals to fully form, which they will not do if the water is allowed to dry out. Silica has a high propensity to crystallize.
