First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.
Alkali metals have the lowest electronegativities, while halogens have the highest.

The mass of lime that can be produced from 4.510 Kg of limestone is calculated as below
calculate the moles of CaCO3 used
that is moles =mass/molar mass
convert Kg to g = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
= 4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO +O2
by use of mole ratio between CaCO3 to CaO (1:1) the moles of CaO is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar mass
45.10 x56 = 2525.6 g of CaO
