Yes, slaked lime is manufactured from limestone:

CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2

What is the limestone cycle?

This is the cycle which tyrns lime stone to - quiclime form this to -Slaked lime from this to - lime water an this turns into limestone and a cycle is created.


What is burnt ground limestone?

Slaked lime also called quicklime or simply lime.


How is slaked lime produced from limestone?

Heat it, the limestone (calcium carbonate) loses carbon dioxide to leave qucklime (calcium oxide). Add water to form slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).


Why do the neutralising effects of powdered limestone on soil last longer than that of slaked lime?

no


How do you get from quicklime to slacked lime?

Quicklime is produced by heating limestone, while slaked lime is formed by adding water to quicklime. This process, called hydration, results in the formation of calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime.


Is calcium sulphate and lime the same?

No. Slaked lime is Ca(OH)2 and quicklime is CaO. Limestone is CaCO3 . CaSO4 when hydrated would be gypsum. It is not lime.


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.


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).


How is slaked lime made from quicklime?

slaked lime is made by adding water to quicklime.


What is slaked lime chemical name?

Slaked lime is Calcium Hydroxide - Ca(OH)2


Why does rain react with limestone?

its kind of hard to explain. orignaly it dosent react with water (execpt from erosion) until it is made into calcium oxide using a blast furnace the new quick lime then is recated with water to form slaked lime which can be made into lime water by adding even more water. then there is another proces where slaked lime can be turned into limestone again and the whole cycle again. 1) calcium carobante + heat = quick lime + carbon doixide or CaCO3 + heat = CaO + C(O)2 2) quick lime + water = slaked lime CaO + (H)2O = Ca(OH)2


What is the difference between slaked lime and lime water?

When you slake a lime an leave it for a few months, there will be a layer of water (providing you used a sufficient amount) ontop of the slaked lime putty. this water is limewater and is clear but contains tiny particles in suspension. The putty is what we refer to as slaked lime.
