CaO is calcium oxide. It consists of one calcium ion (Ca2+) ionically bonded to one oxide ion (O2-). It is commonly referred to as lime or quicklime.

The second compound is properly written as Ca(OH)2 with the OH in parentheses to indicate that there are two hydroxide (OH-) ions rather than just two hydrogen atoms.

Ca(OH)2 is calcium hydroxide consists on one calcium ion (Ca2+) bonded totwo hydroxide ions (OH-). It forms when CaO reacts with water. It is commonly known as slaked lime or lime water.

What is the reaction type of CaO H2O - CaOH2?

The reaction between calcium oxide (CaO) and water (H2O) to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is a synthesis reaction. In this type of reaction, two or more reactants combine to form a single product. The equation can be represented as: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2. This reaction is also classified as a hydration reaction, as water is added to a solid compound.

Which coefficients correctly balance the formula equation CaO plus H2O CaOH2?

The coefficients that correctly balance the equation CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 are: CaO + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2. Two water molecules are needed to react with one calcium oxide molecule to form one calcium hydroxide molecule.


Which is the properly balanced equation that shows the synthesis of limewater CaOH2 from calcium oxide and water?

CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 If you are in doubt about this then count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation to verify that they correspond.


IS CaO a ionic compound or a covalent molecule?

CaO is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (Ca) and a nonmetal (O). Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Does Cao have covalent bonds between atoms?

Yes, covalent bonds are formed between atoms in Cao. Calcium oxide (CaO) has an ionic bond between calcium and oxygen atoms.


Is CaO a polar covalent bond?

No. CaO is an ionic compound.
