Ca(OH) 2 or CaO · H 2 O: Calcium hydroxide (portlandite) C-S-H: 0.6–2.0 CaO · SiO 2 · 0.9–2.5 H 2 O, with variable composition within this range, and often also incorporating partial substitution of Al for Si: Calcium silicate hydrate: C-A-H: Phase more complex than C-S-H: Calcium aluminate hydrate C-A-S-H: This is even more complex than ...
Its usage varies from about 30 to 50 kilograms (65–110 lb) per ton of steel. The quicklime neutralizes the acidic oxides, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, and Fe 2 O 3, to produce a basic molten slag. [10] Ground quicklime is used in the production of aerated concrete such as blocks with densities of ca. 0.6–1.0 g/cm 3 (9.8–16.4 g/cu in). [10]
Calcium hydroxide is moderately soluble in water, as seen for many dihydroxides. Its solubility increases from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. [8] Its solubility product K sp of 5.02 × 10 −6 at 25 °C, [1] its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction:
CaO + H 2 O → Ca(OH) 2 Ca(OH) 2 + CO 2 → CaCO 3 + H 2 O. In a laboratory, calcium carbonate can easily be crystallized from calcium chloride (CaCl 2), by placing an aqueous solution of CaCl 2 in a desiccator alongside ammonium carbonate [NH 4] 2 CO 3. [10] In the desiccator, ammonium carbonate is exposed to air and decomposes into ammonia ...
Carbonatation is a slow process that occurs in concrete where lime (CaO, or Ca(OH) 2 ) in the cement reacts with carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the air and forms calcium carbonate. The water in the pores of Portland cement concrete is normally alkaline with a pH in the range of 12.5 to 13.5.
A volume of 600 m 3 (160,000 US gal) of seawater gives about 1 tonne (2,200 lb) of Mg(OH) 2. Ca(OH) 2 (K sp = 5.02 × 10 −6) [6] is far more soluble than Mg(OH) 2 (K sp = 5.61 × 10 −12) and drastically increases the pH value of seawater from 8.2 to 12.5. The less soluble Mg(OH) 2 precipitates because of the common ion effect due to the OH ...
An aqueous solution containing 120 mg NaHCO 3 (baking soda) per litre of water will contain 1.4285 mmol/l of bicarbonate, since the molar mass of baking soda is 84.007 g/mol. This is equivalent in carbonate hardness to a solution containing 0.71423 mmol/L of (calcium) carbonate, or 71.485 mg/L of calcium carbonate (molar mass 100.09 g/mol).
Calcium sulfite, or calcium sulphite, is a chemical compound, the calcium salt of sulfite with the formula CaSO 3 ·x(H 2 O). Two crystalline forms are known, the hemihydrate and the tetrahydrate, respectively CaSO 3 ·½(H 2 O) and CaSO 3 ·4(H 2 O). [2] All forms are white solids. It is most notable as the product of flue-gas desulfurization.
