what happens when calcium hydroxide reacts with water please give appropriate answer
Answers
Answer:
When mixed with water, a small proportion of it dissolves, forming a solution known as limewater, the rest remaining as a suspension called milk of lime
Answer:Calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime, Ca(OH), is obtained by the action of water on calcium oxide. When mixed with water, a small proportion of it dissolves, forming a solution known as limewater, the rest remaining as a suspension called milk of lime.
This then used in industries to make cement and other derivatives of calicium hydroxide
Explanation:
There is really not a chemical reaction for the very logical reason that Ca(OH)2 is already the result of a reaction with water from a calcium component.
CaO + 2H20 ==> lots of heat + Ca++ + 2 OH- + H2
After drying you have Ca(OH)2
And if you trow that powder in water you get :
Ca (OH)2 + H2O ==> Ca2+ + 2OH-
