Limestone is used in industry as a raw material in the production of slaked Ca (OH) 2.

1) Write the equations of the chemical reactions that characterize the transformations carried out in the production process!

CaCO3 -> CaO -> Ca (OH) 2

The first reaction equation is how calcium oxide can be obtained from calcium carbonate.

The second reaction equation - how calcium oxide can be obtained from calcium oxide.

i k ow its not the exact anwser but ih ope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy plays a key role in chemical processes. According to the modern view of chemical reactions, bonds between atoms in the reactants must be broken, and the atoms or pieces of molecules are reassembled into products by forming new bonds. Energy is absorbed to break bonds, and energy is evolved as bonds are made. In some reactions the energy required to break bonds is larger than the energy evolved on making new bonds, and the net result is the absorption of energy. Such a reaction is said to be endothermic if the energy is in the form of heat. The opposite of endothermic is exothermic; in an exothermic reaction, energy as heat is evolved. The more general terms exoergic (energy evolved) and endoergic (energy required) are used when forms of energy other than heat are involved.

A great many common reactions are exothermic. The formation of compounds from the constituent elements is almost always exothermic. Formation of water from molecular hydrogen and oxygen and the formation of a metal oxide such as calcium oxide (CaO) from calcium metal and oxygen gas are examples. Among widely recognizable exothermic reactions is the combustion of fuels (such as the reaction of methane with oxygen mentioned previously).
