What property of calcium oxide means it reacts readily with carbon dioxide?
Calcium oxide, like many other metal oxides, forms a chemical bond with CO2 to form a carbonate. Thermodynamically, the reaction between CaO and CO2 to form CaCO3 is accompanied (at room temperature) by a decrease in the free energy of the system. If the CaO (called lime) is porous, the CO2 will diffuse throughout the piece and eventually, at room temperature, convert it completely to CaCO3 (called limestone). The reaction to form limestone is so favorable that lime will react with the CO2 in the atmosphere. What's more, if the lime has already reacted with water vapor to form hydrated lime (CaH2O2), the hydrated lime will also react with CO2 from the atmosphere to form limestone. If you heat limestone to 1200 degrees Celsius, it will decompose back to lime and CO2.
Why do you use CO2 free water in gas absorption?
I'm assuming you're talking about the absorption of CO2 into water. CO2 free water is used to properly measure the amount of CO2 water can actually absorb. CO2 already in the water will reduce the mass of CO2 transferred from the gas, and while I don't believe that there is a specific point at which CO2 can no longer be absorbed by water, the tendency for CO2 to be absorbed into water with CO2 already in it is reduced.
What is the purpose of adding alum and lime in water treatment?
Alum (Aluminum Sulfate) is/was used to cause particles in water (mud) to coagulate and settle to the bottom to obtain clear water off the top. That is, it is used to make muddy or cloudy water clear as a first step in turning river water into drinking water. Nowadays, polymers are used instead. Some say that Alum causes alzeimers (1970's) but if that is true, the information was successfully hushed while most of America drank water treated with alum for decades. Lime is used to adjust the ph that is lowered by the alum. There is also a process using lime that actually removes hardness (calcium and magnesium) from drinking water obtained from limestone aquifers. This process is called Lime Soda Softening.
What do farmers put on acidic soil?
Farmers can add lime to acidic soil to help raise its pH level and make it more suitable for growing crops. Lime helps to neutralize the acidity in the soil, making it easier for plants to absorb essential nutrients. It's important to test the soil first to determine the amount of lime needed for effective neutralization.
Which colour does the lime water change to when put in oxygen?
Lime water turns milky or cloudy when exposed to oxygen. This is due to the formation of calcium carbonate as the lime water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air.
What gas is passed to lime water which turns it milky?
CO2 carbon dioxide lime water is Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ---- CaCO3 white ppt insoluble in water so make milky solution
When co2 is passed through lime water?
The lime water turns milky.
How do you test if the liquid is lime water?
Lime water turns milky when CO2 (carbon dioxide) is passed thru it. So to test if a given liquid is lime water, then pass CO2 thru it, if it turns milky, d liquid is lime water...
Lime water turns on reaction with CO2?
When lime water reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2), it forms calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is insoluble and gives lime water a milky appearance. This reaction is used as a test for the presence of carbon dioxide gas.
What is used to test for CO2?
Lime Water, if CO2 is present, then it should turn milky white :D xxx
If you collect gas from a dead animal and bubble it through lime water the lime water turns cloudy what is the gas?
The gas collected from the dead animal and bubbled through lime water is likely carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas reacts with the lime water (calcium hydroxide) to form calcium carbonate, which is insoluble and appears as a cloudy white precipitate.
What is another test for CO2 gas?
Another test for CO2 gas is the lime water test. When carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through lime water, it will turn milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate.
Is slaking of lime reversible?
Yes but it is not a single step reversal. You start off with Limestone (CaCO3) you heat this and drive off Carbon dioxide (CO2) making Quicklime (CaO). You then slake the Quicklime by adding water (H2O) to make Slaked Lime (Ca(OH)2). The Slaked lime will slowly turn back into limestone by reacting with the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the air - it is Carbonated - to make Limestone (CaCO3).
What is a test to show that a gas is carbon dioxide?
Put the gas (CO2) in lime water. If the lime water changes colour, then it means that there is carbon dioxide in the gas depending on how fast the lime water changes colour
Why does lime water turn milky when you breathe out in air in it . Name the product formed?
When you breathe out into lime water (which is a solution of calcium hydroxide), it reacts with the carbon dioxide in your breath to form calcium carbonate. This reaction creates a milky white precipitate in the lime water.
What is the chemical test to show that a gas is carbon dioxide?
Put the gas (CO2) in lime water. If the lime water changes colour, then it means that there is carbon dioxide in the gas depending on how fast the lime water changes colour
How do you perform the lime water test?
Lime water turns milky when CO2 (carbon dioxide) is passed through it. So to test if a given liquid is lime water, pass CO2 through it, if it turns milky, then it is limewater. You can reverse this chemical reaction by putting vinegar in it.
