Why does ammonia hydroxide not react with calcium?
I'm not the best at chemistry just thought i would try to help. anyways I'm pretty sure its to do with how ammonia hydroxide cant break down the calcium for it to react. Full marks for trying. However, permit me to supply something a bit closer to the mark. ===================== I do not think the questioner has that question right. Ammonium hydroxide would react strongly with calcium, which is a reactive metal that bubbles hydrogen in contact with water. If you put some calcium metal in with ammonium hydroxide, it would immediately give off bubbles of hydrogen, and produce calcium hydroxide, releasing ammonia gas. I suppose that the question you really want to ask has something to do with why a dilute calcium hydroxide does not release ammonia from ammonium compounds. If that is what you want to know, the answer might be something like that calcium hydroxide is a weak base, too weak to displace the ammonium and produce ammonium hydroxide. I have my doubts though; that does not make much sense. I think you had better put more preparation into your homework. You cannot get anywhere in chemistry without taking trouble to understand it.
What is the Difference between lime and cement?
Lime is calcium oxide (CaO, or hydroxide Ca(OH)2); cement is a more complex compound, generally a calcium aluminosilicate.Cement is a combination of silica-alumina minerals while lime lacks this property.It does not have any particular mineral in itMinerals present in cement actually enhances the binding power of mortar so as in case of cement we have more chances of strong binding.Lime increases its volume by 2 to 3 units so it cant be used in the process of construction as it can cause eruption.Lime absorbs carbon-dioxide and ultimately forms calcium carbonate(a protective sheath)As a result, lime mortar is considered by environmentalists to be "carbon neutral." In contrast, cement production contributes greatly to global warming, as copious amounts of carbon dioxide are released during its production.
What is the equation for the decomposition of sodium hydroxide?
The dissociation reaction for sodium hydroxide in water is as follows: NaOH(s) ---> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
What uses does patacium have?
I think you mean potassium. It is a very reactive metal that reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
What mineral is so dense that X-rays cant pass through?
According to biologists, x-ray beams cannot penetrate through bone mineral because it is very strong and dense. Bone mineral tests are performed to measure calcium levels in the bone.

Is ammonium hydroxide a compound or element?
compound..derrrr. NH4OH or NH3OH cant remember which. but even ammonium and hydroxide by themselves are compounds.
Can humans live without calcium in their body?
no they cant calcium is what keeps are bones strong
Calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide?
Calcium carbonate is heat at very high temperatures (near 1000°C) and it decomposes into Calcium oxide and Carbon dioxide:CaCO3 --Δ--> CaO + CO2When water is added to Calcium oxide, the Calcium hydroxide is formed:CaO + H2O ----> Ca(OH)2This can be again converted back to Calcium carbonate, by blowing Carbon dioxide through the solution. The white precipitate is Calcium carbonate:Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ----> CaCO3 + H2O

Why can't metals that are high on the activity series like calcium be precipitated from aqueous solution?
because they cant

Can you give your dog Calcium Citrate plus d for humans?
Of course you cant it is only for HUMANS if your dog needs calcium you can get some tablets to put in his food. you could make your dog SERIOUSLY ill.
