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: Ca(OH) 2 → Ca 2+ + 2 OH −. The solubility is affected by the common-ion effect. Its solubility drastically decreases upon addition of hydroxide or calcium sources.
Density: 2.2 g cm −3 [2] Solubility in H 2 O 0.160 20 g/100 g [2] pH (at 20 °C) ... -985.2 kJ/mol [4] Standard molar entropy, S o solid: 83.4 J/(mol K) [4] Heat ...
CaO (s) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ Ca(OH) 2 (aq) (ΔH r = −63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) As it hydrates, an exothermic reaction results and the solid puffs up. The hydrate can be reconverted to quicklime by removing the water by heating it to redness to reverse the hydration reaction.
The hydroxyapatite nanocrystal suspension can be prepared by a wet chemical precipitation reaction following the reaction equation below: [11] 10 Ca(OH) 2 + 6 H 3 PO 4 → Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2 + 18 H 2 O. The ability to synthetically replicate hydroxyapatite has invaluable clinical implications, especially in dentistry.
The reaction Ca(OH) 2 + CO 2 ⇌ Ca 2+ + HCO − 3 + OH − illustrates the basicity of calcium hydroxide. Soda lime, which is a mixture of the strong bases NaOH and KOH with Ca(OH) 2, is used as a CO 2 absorbent.
Tricalcium aluminate Ca 3 Al 2 O 6, often formulated as 3CaO·Al 2 O 3 to highlight the proportions of the oxides from which it is made, is the most basic of the calcium aluminates. It does not occur in nature, but is an important mineral phase in Portland cement .
Density: 2.91 g/cm 3: Melting point ... Ca(OH) 2 + H 2 O 2 → CaO 2 + 2 H 2 O. The octahydrate precipitates upon the reaction of calcium hydroxide with dilute ...
Pozzolanic reaction is a long term reaction, which involves dissolved silicic acid, water and CaO or Ca(OH) 2 or other pozzolans to form a strong cementation matrix. This process is often irreversible. Sufficient amount of free calcium ion and a high pH of 12 and above is needed to initiate and maintain the pozzolanic reaction. [2]
