Why calcium oxide and magnesium oxide used as soil treatment ​

Answer:

Chemically speaking, lime refers only to calcium oxide

(CaO); however, in common usage the term includes the calcination products of calcitic and dolomitic limestones. Calcitic (high-calcium) limes are produced by calcination of

calcareous materials (e.g., calcitic limestone, calcite,

oyster shells, and chalk) containing from 95 to 99 percent

calcium carbonate (CaCO^). Dolomitic limes are produced from

dolomitic limestone or dolomite which contains from 30 to ^+0

percent magnesium carbonate (MgCO^), the rest being calcium

carbonate.

At atmospheric pressure, calcite in limestone decomposes

at approximately 900°C to form CaO and COg. The decomposition of dolomite, CaMg is a two-stage process. At

temperatures between 650°C to 750°C dolomite decomposes to

form MgO, CO^ and CaCO^. It is necessary to raise the temperature to 900°C to decompose the CaCO^ (15, 35)» This

phenomenon is extremely important, as is shown later.

Various investigators have studied the effects of stone

size, temperature, and time of calcination of commercial

How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart? How is the oxidation potential voltage determined
insens350 [35]
Oxidation  half  reaction  is  written   as    follows when  using  using  reduction potential  chart
example  when  using  copper  it is  written  as  follows
CU2+   +2e-  --> c(s)  +0.34v
 oxidasation  is the  loos  of  electron  hence copper oxidation  potential  is  as  follows
cu (s)  -->  CU2+   +2e    -0.34v
