          2. This is not very soluble in water, but dissolves slightly to make Limewater (Calcium hydroxide solution)
            1. Calcium hydroxide reacts with CARBON DIOXIDE to produce CALCIUM CARBONATE, the main compound of limestone.
        2. carbon dioxide
        3. When water is added to calcium oxide
