Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca in to lime (CaO) and water ( at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaC (solid) → CaO (solid) + (liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.
In (NH4)2C2O4 there are four moles of Hydrogen in the compound (NH4), but there two molecules of (NH4) in this compound. That's what the 2 in (NH4)2 means, so multiply 4 x 2 = 8.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of a gas.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. As an object absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
When the temperature of a body or an object is increased and hence the heat, there is more movement or vibration of particles which translates to more kinetic energy.
