Formation of Calcium Carbonate from Oxides

CaO + CO2 → CaCO3

개요

Calcium oxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. This is the reverse of the lime-burning process and occurs naturally in geological carbon sequestration. Limewater (calcium hydroxide solution) turns milky when CO2 is bubbled through due to this reaction.
