Q

What are the word and symbol equations for the reactions in the limestone cycle?

A 
Calcium Carbonate (limestone) + heat → Calcium Oxide (quicklime) + Carbon Dioxide
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

Calcium Oxide + Water → Calcium Hydroxide (slaked lime)
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

(this second reaction creates a ton of heat, very exothermic)

Q

Describe the entire limestone cycle >:)

A
  1. Limestone aka Calcium Carbonate aka CaCO₃
  2. Limestone thermally decomposes into Quicklime when heated
  3. Quicklime aka Calcium Oxide aka CaO
  4. Quicklime reacts with some H₂O to produce Slaked Lime
  5. Slaked Lime aka Calcium Hydroxide aka Ca(OH)₂
  6. Slaked Lime is diluted to become Limewater
  7. Limewater aka Dilute Calcium Hydroxide aka also Ca(OH)₂ but with some H₂O too
  8. Limewater reacts with some CO₂ to become milky (because limestone is produced)
  9. gg cycle repeats you’re back to limestone
