More details
- Reacts violently with acids, and attacks many metals in presence of water.
- Produces flammable explosive gas.
- Skin irritation and not combustible
- Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2 OH-
- Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O
Details
- Corrosive to metals and tissue. Used to make other chemicals, food additive, and petroleum production.
- Can be used to treat infections in ear canal.
- Skin contact and eye contact can cause severe burns if acetic acid is highly concentrated.
- acetic acid can separate from the molecule by ionization:
- CH3CO2H → CH3CO2− + H+
- 2 CO2 + 4 H2 → CH3COOH + 2 H2O
- H3O
- Body cannot naturally produce calcium.
- Calcium Hydroxide is often used in white wash, mortars, plaster, and in rot canal procedures as well.
