Where calcium is mined?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Calcium is a very reactive metal and is always found in a reacted state in compounds where it is ionic, present as the Ca2+ ion. The best known mineral is limestone, calcium carbonate. Calcium metal is not produced commercially in great quantities, one method of production is to react calcium oxide with aluminium at high temperature,

, a so-called aluminothermic reaction similar to the thermite reaction where aluminium is the reducing agent.

How does calcium help your body?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1) The body needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages.

2) Help release hormones and enzymes

3) Help build and maintain healthy bones and strong teeth
In the diet, calcium is the primary mineral in bone formation, so growing children need a lot of milk (rich in calcium) for proper development.

In the water supply, calcium is a major factor in the development of scale and mineral deposits that can clog the plumbing system.

So, calcium in milk is good. Calcium in water, not so much.

Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez has penned a series of comic books to accompany the music he writes. The name of the series is the Amory Wars. In 2005, a graphic novel entitled "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness" featuring art by Christopher Shy was released alongside an album of the same name. This release has since gone out of print and is becoming increasingly rare. There are also two trade paperbacks that comprise the single issues of the Second Stage Turbine Blade series (album released in 2002, comics released 2006-2007) as well as a complete hardcover compilation with previously unreleased material. Currently being released is the In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 series, which accompany their 2003 album of the same name, and the first four issues of this run will be released in a trade paperback on October 20, 2010. If you wish to purchase these items, try looking at www.merchnow.com, www.boom-studios.net, and eBay.

Is there calcium in eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference - Release 23

website: see link below, one large poached egg weighing 50 grams contains 69 mg. In Release 22 of that database, one large poached egg weighing 50 grams contained 66 mg. The method of preparing an egg has little effect on its potassium content, so if you look at the other entries in the database for eggs, there is only a slight variation in potassium content. An egg would be considered a low potassium food.

Who invented calcium?

Sir Humphry Davy and Jöns Jakob Berzelius

The element Calcium was first discovered by Sir Humphry Davy, a British Chemist, in 1808, in England, through the electrolysis of a mixture of lime (CaO) and mercuric oxide (HgO).

Calcium was known to the ancients, in the form of lime (calcium oxide, CaO). Sir Humphry Davy first isolated the element in 1808, by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide (HgO).

He was inspired by the experiments of Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who had attempted the same thing, but failed to isolate the elemental calcium from the resulting compound.

He named it calcium after the Latin word "calx" which is what the Romans called lime.
