When calcium metal is dropped in water, it reacts vigorously to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation is:

2Ca(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

What would you see when water is added drop by drop to cold calcium oxide?

When water is added drop by drop to cold calcium oxide (CaO), a vigorous exothermic reaction occurs, producing calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and releasing heat. Initially, you might see the calcium oxide fuming or bubbling as it reacts with water, creating a slaked lime paste. The reaction can produce steam, and the temperature of the mixture will increase significantly due to the heat generated. Eventually, you would observe a thick, milky solution of calcium hydroxide forming.

What are some things that can happen if you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water?

It could sink. (The metal's density is greater than water.) It could turn into a ball of flames. (If you dropped a chunk of sodium into graduated cylinder, it would react with flames or sparks.)


Why do water droplets always form one huge drop on a penny?

Surface tension of water draws it into a larger drop. It will do that on any nonporous surface- metal, glass, smooth plastic, etc.


What is released when calcium levels drop?

How are stalactite and stalagmite formed?

Slightly acid water seeping through the joints in the limestone overlying the cave dissolves calcium carbonate form from the rock, then precipitates it as the crystalline mineral, calcite, on emerging through the cave roof. Each drop of "hard" water may leave only a few molecules of calcite, but drop after drop after drop... the deposits develop.

What does the parathyroid gland release when calcium levels drop too low?

The parathyroid gland releases parathyroid hormone (PTH) when calcium levels in the blood drop too low. PTH helps increase calcium levels by promoting the release of calcium from bones, enhancing calcium absorption in the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys.
