Chapter 21: Problem 40

Write chemical formulas for (a) quicklime, (b) slaked lime, (c) limewater.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The chemical formulas are quicklime: \( CaO \), slaked lime: \( Ca(OH)_2 \), limewater: \( Ca(OH)_2 \) in water.

Step by step solution

01

Chemical Formula for Quicklime

Quicklime, also known as Calcium Oxide, is a commonly used chemical compound in various industries like construction, agriculture, and chemistry. Its chemical formula is \( CaO \).
02

Chemical Formula for Slaked Lime

Slaked Lime, also known as Calcium Hydroxide or hydrated lime, is produced by adding water to quicklime. The chemical formula for slaked lime is \( Ca(OH)_2 \).
03

Chemical Formula for Limewater

Limewater is a solution of slaked lime in water. Limewater is not a new chemical compound and hence doesn't have a new formula. It's still \( Ca(OH)_2 \), but dissolved in water.
