The raw materials needed for making iron are iron ore, coke (a type of coal), and limestone. Iron ore is the primary source of iron, coke is used as a fuel and reducing agent, and limestone helps to remove impurities during the smelting process.
To make 100 kilograms of calcium oxide, you would need 100 kilograms of limestone. This is because limestone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which upon heating, produces calcium oxide (quicklime) as one of the products.
To calculate the amount of limestone needed, first determine the moles of H2SO4 and HNO3 in the lake. Then, use the stoichiometry of the neutralization reaction between limestone (CaCO3) and the acids to calculate the moles of limestone required to neutralize the acids. Finally, convert the moles of limestone to kilograms using the molar mass of CaCO3.
Limestone may be mined in a surface quarry, typically by drilling, blasting, and crushing the shot rock. In some areas, limestone mines are underground. In Florida, some limestone mines are under water- the rock is drilled, shot, and mucked while under water. Limestone may be crushed to aggregate sizes, or finely crushed to a powder state for agricultural limestone, or used a "mine safety dust" to control methane and dust in coal mines. Powdered limestone (calcium carbonate) may be roasted and hydrated to form quicklime (Calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide)
To calculate the mass of limestone (CaCO3) needed to neutralize HNO3 and H2SO4 in acidified water, you can use stoichiometry. First, determine the amount of acid in moles. Then, use the balanced chemical equation to find the moles of CaCO3 needed to neutralize the acid. Finally, convert the moles of CaCO3 to mass in kilograms using its molar mass.

Surely it should be either "You fly over the huge limestone quarry" or "you flew over the huge limestone quarry" or "You have flown over the....."
The advantage of living near a limestone quarry is that there are many employment opportunities in the quarry site. The other advantage the building of houses is cheaper because of the easier availability of limestone which is one of the building materials.
Yes, limestone quarries were used to extract the stones needed to build the pyramids in ancient Egypt. The most famous quarry used for this purpose is the Tura quarry, located near Cairo, which provided the fine white limestone used for the outer casing of the pyramids. Other quarries, such as those at Giza and Aswan, also supplied the necessary stones for construction.

A quarry is any large pit dug into the ground from which rocks are mined to be used in any number of ways, usually building materials. Therefore, a limestone quarry would be a quarry dug solely for mining limestone. In the United States, the state of Indiana is full of limestone quarries.
This past week I visited a limestone quarry that has been mining limestone in one place for 40 years. In that time, they will have mined millions of tons of limestone. Usually nearly ALL the rock is limestone, so the answer will depend on the size (area) of the quarry, how deep you can mine, and presence of any "trash" rock.
Because limestone is a very intimmadate stone that you can break up easily.
The duration a limestone quarry can produce limestone depends on the size of the deposit, the rate of extraction, and the demand for limestone. Some quarries can operate for decades or even centuries, while others may deplete their resources sooner. Sustainable quarrying practices and responsible resource management can help extend the lifespan of a quarry.
Depends on the quarry. Some haul by truck, some haul by a conveyor belt.
