How much h20 is needed to make 10kg of quick lime to slaked lime? Anyone give me the solution, please.

Atomic weight of these elements.
Ca = 40,
O = 16,
H = 1.
Cao = 40 + 16 = 56.
H2O = (2*1)+16 = 18.

How we introduce the CaO to the clay specimen to find the swell in the specimen due to slaking? Please explain to me.

How much time it will take Cao to slake?

Cao = 56,
H2o = 18,
56 = 18,
1 = [18/56].
10kg lime = (18/56)*10=3.2kg water.

Slaking is of the process by adding water of turning the traditional building material lime into burned lime.

What is Slacking?

Diwakar naik said:   8 years ago
Theoretically, the requirement of water for slaking of lime is 32% weight of CaO.

i.e for 10kg lime 3.2 kgs of water required for slaking.

Theoretically, the requirement of water for slaking of lime is 32 per cent of the weight of CaO.
