No


How do you neutralize water?

Water is slightly acidic (around pH 5.6),a lot of countries/places,such as Sweden, use calcium oxide to neutralise bodies of water affected by acid rain.


What is the word equation of calcium oxide and water?

The word equation for the reaction between calcium oxide and water is: calcium oxide + water → calcium hydroxide.


What is the word equation for calcium oxide?

The word equation for calcium oxide is: calcium oxide + water → calcium hydroxide.


What does hydrochloric acid and calcium oxide make?

Calcium + water. Chloride Since it is a neutralisation reaction: Acid + metal oxide = salt + water Hydrogen Calcium Calcium Water Chloride + Oxide = Chloride +


What is the WORD equation for the reaction between calcium oxide and water?

This chemical reaction is: CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2.


Does the mass of calcium oxide effect the temperature rise when calcium oxide reacts with water?

No, the mass of calcium oxide does not affect the temperature rise when it reacts with water. The temperature rise is determined by the amount of energy released during the exothermic reaction between calcium oxide and water, which is constant regardless of the mass of calcium oxide used.


What is the chemical formula for Calcium oxide and water?

The chemical formula for calcium oxide is CaO, and for water it is H2O.


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.


Does calcium carbonate decompose to make calcium oxide and water?

Calcium oxide, or quicklime, can be decomposed chemically into its components, calcium and oxygen. Calcium is an element and cannot be decomposed chemically.


Why is the PH for the reaction of sodium oxide and water higher than calcium oxide and water?

The pH for the reaction of sodium oxide and water is higher than that of calcium oxide and water because sodium hydroxide (the product of sodium oxide and water) is a stronger base than calcium hydroxide (the product of calcium oxide and water). Sodium hydroxide dissociates more in water, releasing more hydroxide ions, thereby increasing the pH of the solution.


What chemical does calcium oxide form when added to water?

When calcium oxide is added to water, it forms calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, through a process called hydration. This reaction is exothermic, releasing heat as the calcium oxide binds with water molecules to form calcium hydroxide.
