Which has a low boiling point ..

out of the options the only two gases are Oxygen and Hydrogen .. so both with be correct for this right?

CaO is produced by heating a mixture of limestone and coke in a lime kiln.

CaCO3 <===> CaO+CO2

In the lime kiln, the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape .. why does this increase the yield of calcium oxide?

helpp!! QA4 (b)(ii) from O/N 2011 paper 21 of chemistry.
the question is:
During a stage in photosynthesis, electrons are removed from water to produe hydrogen ions and oxygen gas.
Write an equation for this reaction.
i wrote:
2H2O --> 4H+(aq) + O2(g)
but in the marking scheme it is given:
2H2O --> 2H+ + O2 + 2e-

Explain please!! :cry: :mad: :cautious: o_O :sleep:

you did not remove the electrons in your rquation...thats it..the then balance it and tada its solved! :D

Give Formulaes for types of Ca compounds ..

Limestone
Quicklime
slaked lime
limewater
Lime


CaCO3 - Limestone
Ca(OH)2 - Limewater/slaked lime
Ca(NO3)2 - No Name i think
CaSO4 - No name i think ..
CaO - Quicklime/lime

this is a reversible reactin ryt? and CO2 is a product. so if we decrease the amount of any of the products in a reversible reaction the reaction shifts to the right to overcome that decrease so more CaCO3 breaks up into CaO and CO2 to compensate the amount of CO2! hope it helped ^__^

removing the products or the reactant, favours the reversible direction in that way, similarly, adding any of the product or the reactant favours the reaction in the other direction!

Iss mein volume ka bhi chakkar hota hai :O ...

mein tu samjha tha kay khaali temperature aur pressure ka hota hai ....

o_O which electrons shud i remove. sorry i am beat ryt now... all i can think of is this formula and that reaction. its all mixed up!! :cry:

pressure and volume are almost the same!!!
pressure barhao volume kam karo same result!! :D

State a use of slaked lime. what's the formulae ? Ca(OH)2 ?

Used to nuetralize acidic salts? what others could be?

no, all conditions are considered. this is probably the smallest and the dumbest and yet the worst topic of the chemistry syllabus to be frank :mad:
