Calcium hydroxide can be made from limestone by heating the limestone (calcium carbonate) while heating the carbon dioxide is given off . this turns the limestone into calcium oxide and now if you add a little water the calcium oxide will turn into calcium hydroxide
Hope it helped you....:)
The process can be shown in a flow diagram called the 'limestone reaction cycle'
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! :)
Yes, bases like sodium hydroxide can react with limestone (calcium carbonate) to form calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. This reaction is known as a double displacement reaction.
Powdered limestone is safer because it releases calcium and carbonate ions slowly, preventing a sudden increase in pH which can harm plants. Calcium hydroxide, on the other hand, can raise the pH too quickly, leading to potential toxicity in the soil. Additionally, powdered limestone is less likely to cause chemical burns or skin irritation compared to calcium hydroxide.
Limestone is the type of rock that is made primarily of calcium carbonate.
Limestone is basically Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3). The metal part(Calcium) is the reactive part in it. It reacts with acids as well as bases. For example, it reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride whereas reacts with Ammonium hydroxide to form Calcium Hydroxide.

limestone is a sedimentary rock which is more abundant and can easily become a powder than calcium hydroxide which you have to make. you mix calcium oxide with water to get a formula Ca(OH)2.
Lime (quicklime) is made from limestone- but it is not the same thing. Agricultural lime is powdered limestone. Quicklime is limestone (calcium carbonate) that has been roasted and changed to Calcium Oxide. Slaked quicklime is quicklime that has had water added- Calcium hydroxide. Quicklime is used for odor control.

Heat it, the limestone (calcium carbonate) loses carbon dioxide to leave qucklime (calcium oxide). Add water to form slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).

A compound is a mixture of elements. As the name implies, CH (or calcium hydroxide) is made up of calcium and hydrogen. Calcium and Hydrogen are elements. Thus, calcium hydroxide is a compound.

Limestone is mostly calcium carbonate.
Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. Limestone and its products have many uses: for example, in mortar, cement, concrete and glass.
No. Limestone is Calcium Carbonate. Limestone plus water makes wet calcium carbonate. With a very slight amount of calcium carbonate dissolving.
