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! :)

Why does powered limestone cost less than 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.


How can calcium Hydroxide be made from Limestone?

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'

What does quicklime and water make?

Quicklime (calcium oxide) and water react to form slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), a process known as slaking. This reaction is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a significant amount of heat. Slaked lime is a versatile chemical compound used in various industries, including agriculture, construction, and wastewater treatment.


Can you make potassium hydroxide by mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide?

No, potassium hydroxide cannot be made by mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide is typically produced through the electrolysis of potassium chloride. Mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide would not result in the formation of potassium hydroxide.
