LIMESTONE
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate CaCO3
Origin Formed in the sea millions of years ago
from the remains of shells
Found in places like the Peak District of Derbyshire
Extraction Quarried in large amounts
e.g. 150 million tonnes each year in the UK
IT IS AN IMPORTANT RAW MATERIAL
Use building material and road chippings
neutralising excess acid in lakes and soil
making cement and concrete

LIMESTONE PRODUCTS ARE VERY USEFUL
… especially in building houses

Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
CARBONATES
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
Formulae All carbonates contain the CO3 unit
The compounds are ionic; the formula is found by
balancing the charges of the ions
Carbonate ions have a 2- charge CO32-
CALCIUM CARBONATE

SODIUM CARBONATE
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture Na CO(calcium
of 2lime 3 oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
PROCESSING LIMESTONE
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
Roasting Heating limestone very strongly makes it break up
The process is known as THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
calcium carbonate —> calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2
Calcium oxide is also known as QUICKLIME
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
QUICKLIME
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
Calcium oxide CaO
Reacts with water to form SLAKED LIME (CALCIUM HYDROXIDE)
calcium oxide + water ——> calcium hydroxide + HEAT
CaO + H2O ——> Ca(OH)2
Use added to soil to make it less acidic
added to lakes which have been polluted by acid rain
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
SLAKED LIME & LIME WATER
Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide in water
it is an alkali
it is used to test for the gas carbon dioxide
(limewater goes ‘cloudy’ if CO2 is present)
calcium hydroxide + carbon dioxide ——> calcium carbonate + water
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ——> CaCO3 + H2 O
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.

CEMENT, CONCRETE & GLASS
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
All three rely on limestone for their manufacture
CEMENT powdered clay
powdered limestone
mix and roast them in a rotary kiln
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
CEMENT, CONCRETE & GLASS
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
All three rely on limestone for their manufacture
CONCRETE cement - bonds aggregate together
sand
powdered rock or chippings
water - makes it easier to work with
- causes a chemical reaction to harden the cement
allow the mixture to dry slowly (set)
you get a very hard solid
it is much stronger than simple cement
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
REACTION OF ACIDS WITH CARBONATES
Teacher Led Content (TLC)- Know
All carbonates react with acids to form a salt, carbon dioxide and water.
It is an example of a NEUTRALISATION REACTION
CARBONATE + ACID —> A SALT + CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
Everyday examples
Bad - acid rain attacks limestone rocks in the countryside
- monuments and statues are attacked
Good - carbonates can neutralise excess acid in the stomach
Learning outcome: Describe the manufacture of lime (calcium oxide) from
calcium carbonate and state the direct and indirect uses of limestone.
AQA C1.2.1 Calcium carbonate - summary
a) Limestone, mainly composed of the compound calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), is
quarried and can be used as a building material.
b) Calcium carbonate can be decomposed by heating (thermal decomposition) to
make calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
c) The carbonates of magnesium, copper, zinc, calcium and sodium decompose on
heating in a similar way to give carbon dioxide and the metal oxide.
Not all carbonates of metals in Group 1 of the periodic table decompose at the
temperatures reached by a Bunsen burner.
d) Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide, which is an
alkali that can be used in the neutralisation of acids.
e) A solution of calcium hydroxide in water (limewater) reacts with carbon dioxide
to produce calcium carbonate. Limewater is used as a test for carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide turns limewater cloudy.
f) Limestone is heated with clay to make cement. Cement is mixed with sand to
make mortar and with sand and aggregate to make concrete.
