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

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

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

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.

How Cao =56 and H20 = 18? Please explain.

Since the molecular mass of CaO is 0.056 kg and molecular mass of H20 is 0.018 kg. Hence applying unitary method method we get 3.2 kg.

What is unitary method?

Radhakrishna said:   10 years ago
It means scaling down one of the variables to a single unit, i.e. "1". Didn't make you satisfy, ok here is an example if six coins weight is 66. Then what is the weight of 17 coins?

Consider the weight of one coin first.

1 coin weighs 66/6 = 11.

Now it is easy to calculate the cost of seventeen coins.

17 coins weigh 17 x 11 = 187.

CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2.

56g 18g. 74g.

Since 56g CaO requires 18g water.

Hence 10 kg requires = (18/56)*10 = 3.214 kg.

CaO = 0.056 Kg and H2O = 0.018 Kg,

Therefore, 0.056 = 0.018,

10 = (X),

By Solving (X) = (10 X 0.018)/0.056,

= 3.214 Kg.
