- 6Name the products formed when calcium carbonate is heated stronglyCalcium Oxide
Carbon Dioxide - 7What is the word equation for the reaction of calcium oxide with waterCalcium oxide + water = Calcium Hydroxide
- 8Why does limewater go cloudy when mixed with carbon dioxideThe lime and the carbon dioxide react to form calcium carbonate, meaning a solid in the particles is formed and this turns the lime water cloudy.
- 9Why does acid rain damage limestoneWhen acidic rainwater falls on limestone or chalk, a chemical reaction happens. New soluble substances are formed in the reaction. These are washed away and the rock is weathered.
