What sort of chemicals are calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate?
Calcium hydroxide is a chemical compound composed of calcium, hydrogen, and oxygen (Ca(OH)2), while calcium carbonate is composed of calcium, carbon, and oxygen (CaCO3). Calcium hydroxide is commonly used in building materials and as a food additive, while calcium carbonate is found naturally in rocks like limestone and marble, and is used in supplements and antacids.
Explain why calcium hydroxide can be used in this way?
Calcium hydroxide is used to test for carbon dioxide because the product of the reaction, calcium carbonate, is insoluble, and easily visible.
What is the word equation for calcium oxide and water?
In most industrial processes calcium carbonate and water is the product of the combination of calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide.Calcium hydroxide + carbon dioxide → calcium carbonate + water
What happens when you mix calcium hydroxide and sodium hydrogen carbonate?
chalky white precipitate
What happens when sodium formate reacts with soda lime?
When sodium formate reacts with soda lime, it forms sodium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, while calcium carbonate is a weak base that can act as a buffer.
