Question

how much carbon dioxide is lost in overall reaction if 30kg limestone is strongly heated to give calcium oxide​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate is strongly heated until it undergoes thermal decomposition to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The calcium oxide (unslaked lime) is dissolved in water to form calcium hydroxide (limewater). Bubbling carbon dioxide through this forms a milky suspension of calcium carbonate

This experiment can be carried out conveniently in groups of two or three and takes about 40–45 minutes.
