Yes it can! So can Sodium Hydroxide but not as efficiently as Calcium Oxide as it takes more Sodium Hydroxide than it does Calcium Oxide. If generating you're own Anhydrous Ammonia by mixing Sodium Hydroxide with Ammonia Nitrate the Sodium will replace the Ammonia in the Nitrate freeing the Ammonia as well as producing water. It's best to have this piped through a condenser charge with ice water to condense the water back into the reaction vessel. Than have it passed through a chamber packed with Calcium Oxide to catch any water that isn't condensed yet. Than a cold finger charged with Dry ice and Acetone after this as a last stand against the water. This should than feed into a vessel in a bath of Dry Ice and Acetone where the Anhydrous Ammonia gas will condense into a liquid. From here you can use for a Birch Reaction or store in a cooled or pressurized compatible container. READ SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING ANHYDROUS AMMONIA BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THIS. IT CAN AND WILL KILL YOU IF PERMITTED. Thank you.

Why you add calcium oxide when making ammonia?

Calcium oxide is added in the Haber process for ammonia production as it acts as a desiccant to absorb any moisture present in the reactants, which can lower the efficiency of the process. By removing moisture, the equilibrium shift in the reaction favors the production of more ammonia, thus increasing the overall yield.


What is the salt type of calcium oxide?

It is an OXIDE-salt, although it normally is not called a 'salt' but an 'oxide'. But strictly speaking it IS a salt like eg. CaS (calcium sulfide) CaO, calcium oxide, dry chalk, used as dry desinfectant eg. in mass graves slightly soluble in water, forming calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2


Name some bases?

sodium hydroxide, quicklime or Calcium Oxide, Slaked lime or calcium hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide or caustic potash or lye. Sodium Carbonate; potassium carbonate, rubidium oxide, ammonia etc.


Can you prepare ammonia using calcium oxide and ammonium chloride?

Yes. Ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride will react with a strong base to yield ammonia.


What is the word equation for extraction of calcium from calcium oxide by electrolysis?

The word equation for the extraction of calcium from calcium oxide by electrolysis is: Calcium oxide (solid) -> Calcium (liquid) + Oxygen gas.


Why can't anhydrous calcium chloride be used to dry ammonia?

Anhydrous calcium chloride cannot be used to dry ammonia because it forms a complex with ammonia, resulting in a less effective drying process. This complexation reaction reduces the ability of calcium chloride to remove water vapor from ammonia. Instead, molecular sieves or desiccants like potassium hydroxide are preferred for drying ammonia.


What mixed with calcium carbonate gives off ammonia?

Nothing I know of. Calcium carbonate is CaCO3--one atom each of calcium and carbon, three of oxygen. Ammonia is NH3--one of nitrogen, three of hydrogen. There is no element that exists in both compounds.


What is calcium oxide?

calcium oxide is calcium combine whit oxygen


How much elemental Calcium is there in Calcium oxide?

There is no elemental calcium in calcium oxide. Calcium oxide is a compound made up of calcium and oxygen atoms bonded together. When calcium oxide reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, which contains calcium ions but not elemental calcium.


Is calcium oxide illegal?

Calcium oxide is legal.


What does calcium oxide mean?

CaO is calcium oxide


What is the word equation for calcium plus iron oxide?

The word equation for calcium plus iron oxide is: calcium + iron oxide → calcium oxide + iron. In this reaction, calcium displaces iron in iron oxide to form calcium oxide and elemental iron. This type of reaction is known as a displacement reaction, where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound.
