Thermal decomposition of limestone
(calcium carbonate). Calcium oxide
(quicklime) is prepared by
decomposing calcium carbonate in a
large kiln at 825°C to 1000°C.
Calcium oxide is among the most
widely used chemicals in the world,
with annual consumption measured in
the hundreds of millions of tons.
Some of the CaO output is used in
the steel industry, and much of the
remainder is used to make "slaked
lime," Ca(OH)2, by reaction with
water.
(Thermal refers to heat. The reaction occurs at high temperature.) Write the equation.
(Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (ag) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)
