Quick Lime also known as Burnt Lime, Calcium Oxide, Calcined Lime with a chemical formula of “CaO”. It is formed by burning of Lime Stone (Calcium carbonate) at high degree under controlled environment. Quick Lime is one of the oldest chemical in world
and used by many industries.
Properties of Calcium Oxide
• Quick lime is an amorphous white solid with a high melting point of 2600°
• It is a very stable compound and withstands high temperatures.
• In the presence of water,
it forms slaked lime. This process is called slaking of lime.
CaO+H2O → Ca (OH)2
It is an oxide which is basic in nature and forms salts when it comes in contact with an acid.
CaO+H2SO4 → CaSO4+H2O
Uses of Calcium Oxide
• It is the cheapest alkali available which is an important ingredient in the manufacturing of caustic soda.
• It is extensively used for medicinal purpose and insecticides.
• It finds its application in
manufacturing of cement, paper, and high-grade steel.
• Lime is used as a reagent in laboratories for dehydration, precipitation, etc.
