The above chemical equation represents the reaction process of calcium oxide (CaO) with aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) to form calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
- Reaction Conditions
The conditions for this reaction require the two reactants to be mixed together at high temperatures.
- Reaction Process
When CaO and Al2(SO4)3 are mixed together and the temperature is increased, they will react with each other to form CaSO4 and Al2O3. This process is also known as hydrolysis.
- Phenomena Occurring
When the reaction occurs, there will be a phenomenon of temperature increase due to the heat released by the reaction process. In addition, the reaction products CaSO4 and Al2O3 will form as solids, creating a white or nearly white powder.
