Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
Quicklime is prepared industrially and is fairly pure -CaO. However, strictly speaking there are always impurities present such as MgO, CaCO3, Ca(OH)2 and other trace elements.
Quicklime is calcium oxide. (CaO) . All oxides of Groups (I) & (II) elements are BASIC. Hence quicklime is basic.
it is a compound i think because it says in my science book it is CaCO3 which are calcium and carbon and 3 oxygen
Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
The chemical name for quicklime is calcium oxide (CaO).
Quicklime is calcium oxide, CaO.
Quicklime is CaO, calcium oxide.
Lime or quicklime is calcium oxide.
Quicklime is white and can be crushed into a powder or appear as stones
The Chemical formula for lime is CaO. This comes from Limestone (CaCO3). As Limestone is heated up to 1000 degrees, it lets of Carbon Dioxide and becomes CaO, or quicklime.
Quicklime (calcium oxide) is considered a base. When quicklime reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, which is an alkaline solution.
slaked lime is made by adding water to quicklime.
