Explain the advantages of using slaked lime instead of powdered limestone for neutralising acidic soil?
Slaked lime is much more alkaline and effective at reducing acidity quickly - it is Ca(OH)2 whereas powdered limestone is CaCO3 and not as alkaline/basic. CO2 is also given off when the limestone reacts with the acid. Water is given of when slaked lime reacts. Mathematically it takes 100 g of limestone to 73g of HCl (as an example) where it would take only 74g of slaked lime per 73g HCl.
Why do farmers put lime on their fields if the acid is to strong?
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 is the ingredient of lime. CaCO3 is a base. If there is too much acid in the fields, by adding a base it can be neutralised - that way, the ground won't be too acidic or too basic and crops can grow in their ideal conditions.

Does Bud Light lime have caffeine?
It has about as much as a can of redbull. Be careful how much you drink!
What would happen if CaO and water are mixed together?
Calcium Hydroxide (slaked lime) would form with the evolution of much heat. CaO + H2O -----> Ca(OH)2
What changes take place when quicklime is placed in water?
CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 Here, CaO is Quick Lime, and Ca(OH)2 is slaked lime. Technically, you get slaked lime after this reaction. Also, it's exothermic, so you've got a lot of heat coming out, and the water could in fact start boiling, that much heat. Cheers :)
