Calcium oxide and water

Ethyl chloride can be dehydrochlorinated to ethylene using alcohoHc potash. Condensation of alcohol with ethyl chloride in this reaction also produces some diethyl ether. Heating to 625°C and subsequent contact with calcium oxide and water at 400—450°C gives ethyl alcohol as the chief product of decomposition. Ethyl chloride yields butane, ethylene, water, and a soHd of unknown composition when heated with metallic magnesium for about six hours in a sealed tube. Ethyl chloride forms regular crystals of a hydrate with water at 0°C (5). Dry ethyl chloride can be used in contact with most common metals in the absence of air up to 200°C. Its oxidation and hydrolysis are slow at ordinary temperatures. Ethyl chloride yields ethyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, and some ethylene in the presence of steam with various catalysts, eg, titanium dioxide and barium chloride. 

There is one disadvantage to having lime around, however. It must be kept completely dry wherever it is stored. The reaction between calcium oxide and water forms calcium hydroxide (or slaked lime ). 

Write the equation for calcium oxide and water. This hydroxide is called lime water. Lime water is used to test the presence of carbon dioxide. Magnesium oxide reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide. 

Calcium oxide and water yield calcium hydroxide a composition reaction. Calcium chloride and sodium carbonate yield calcium carbonate and sodium chloride a double displacement reaction. 

Calcium Oxide and Water. The well-known substance quicklime is calcium oxide. Calcium oxide could be made by burning bits of calcium, but the oxide quickly coats over the surface of the metal, and it is difficult to make the interior portions of the lump react. For this experiment take a lump of quicklime out of a recently opened container. Cover it with water in a porcelain dish and then pour off the excess of water that did not soak into the porous lump. Note... 

Just as two elements can combine, two compounds can also combine to form one compound. For example, the reaction between calcium oxide and water to form calcium hydroxide is a synthesis reaction. 

As an example, when phosphorus-containing aldehydes were added to paraformaldehyde in the presence of calcium oxide and water, an exothermic reaction occurs which leads to the formation of phosphorus-containing trimethanol propanes. Of the two examples shown in Fig. 3, Compound I is a crystalline solid. Since Compound II could not be crystallized, it is suspected of being contaminated with the ether III. 

When the calcium carbonate, CaC03, in limestone is heated to a high temperature, it decomposes into calcium oxide (called lime or quick lime) and carbon dioxide. Lime was used by tbe early Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to make cement and is used today to make over 150 different chemicals. In another reaction, calcium oxide and water form calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (called slaked lime), used to remove the sulfur dioxide from smoke stacks above power plants burning bigb-sulflir coal. The equations for all these reactions are below. Determine the oxidation number for each atom in the equation and identify whether the reactions are redox reaction or not. For each redox reaction, identify what is oxidized and what is reduced. 

This word equation shows that calcium oxide and water are reacting to form calcium hydroxide. The reactants are on the left the product is on the right. Though word equations can be useful, they can only provide the minimum amount of information about a reaction. Chemists prefer formula equations because they make it possible to keep track of the atoms of each element as reactants become products. A properly written and balanced formula equation can be used quantitatively, allowing the calculation of amounts of reactants and products. (This is the topic of Chapter 8.) The formula equation for the reaction of calcium oxide with water is ... 

In this reaction calcimn oxide is first dissolved in water in the form of Ca and OH ions, and calcium hydroxide precipitates from the liquid phase after it has become oversaturated with respect to the lydroxide. The reaction is associated with a chemical shrinkage the volume of the resulting calcium hydroxide is smaller (by 4.86%) than the sum of the volumes of calcium oxide and water entering the reaction. At the same time the volume of the calcium hydroxide is greater by 97.4% than the volume of the original oxide. 

Frankland and Crum Brown (1866) represented a double bond by two short lines (C, Fig. 45). In a Royal Institution lecture Crum Brown represented the union of calcium oxide and water by the equation D, Fig. 45, the two residues remaining united on account of the double relatedness of the calcium atom. He distinguished between valency and affinity chlorine is said to be saturated by. .. sodium or. .. silver, although the intimacy or firmness of the combination is not the same in the two cases. Crum Brown s view that the formulae did not indicate the physical, but merely the chemical position of the atoms was approved by Frankland, whereas Naquet used the crude idea of atoms provided with hooks which link them together, and some of Kekule s later formulae also suggest this (see Fig. 47, p. 555). 

All metal hydroxides except those containing Group 1 metals decompose when heated to yield metal oxides and water. For example, calcium hydroxide decomposes to produce calcium oxide and water.

Calcium hydride is highly ionic and is insoluble in all common inert solvents. It can be handled in dry air at low temperatures without difficulty. When heated to about 500°C, it reacts with air to form both calcium oxide and nitride. Calcium hydride reacts vigorously with water in either Hquid or vapor states at room temperature. The reaction with water provides 1.06 Hters of hydrogen per gram CaH2. 

The most versatile method for preparing enamines involves the condensation of aldehydes and ketones with secondary amines [Eq. (1)]. Mannich and Davidsen (/) discovered that the reaction of secondary amines with aldehydes in the presence of potassium carbonate and at temperatures near 0° gave enamines, while calcium oxide and elevated temperatures were required to cause a reaction between ketones and secondary amines, although usually in poor yield. The introduction by Herr and Heyl 2-4) of the removal of the water produced in the condensation by azeotropic distillation with benzene made possible the facile preparation of enamines from ketones and disubstituted aldehydes.

Calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) ] is known as slaked or hydrated lime and is formed by exposing calcium oxide to water. Slaked lime is less caustic than quick lime. Therefore, it is used to line football fields. (Unslaked lime, CaO, is very caustic when wet, and if it is used on playing fields, players may receive caustic burns.) Calcium hydroxide has many uses, including as an ingredient for stonemasons mortar, cements, whitewash, and soil conditioner (high pH), as a food additive, and as a human depilatory. 

In 1861, W. Gossage showed that calcium sulphide is insoluble in water, and is but little attacked by sodium carbonate he also showed that the residue left after the lixiviation of black ash is a mixture of calcium monosulphide and carbonate, even when no sodium sulphide is present in the liquor and that if any sodium sulphide be present in the liquor, it is derived from the formation of calcium polysulphides in the black ash which can be prevented by using an excess of limestone. Both J. W. Kynaston and W. Gossage showed that no sodium hydroxide is present in black ash because (a) sodium hydroxide melted with black ash forms calcium oxide and sodium carbonate and (b) no sodium hydroxide can be extracted with...

Hydroxides of reactive metals show no decomposition when they are heated. The hydroxides of moderately reactive metals do decompose to produce the metal oxide and water. This process is used to convert calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) into calcium oxide (lime).
