The chemical equation above describes the reaction between Calcium oxide (CaO) and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
- Conditions of the reaction:
This reaction can occur at room temperature and normal pressure.
- The reaction process:
When Calcium oxide (CaO) comes into contact with Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), they will chemically react with each other and produce Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
- Observed phenomena:
When the reaction occurs, Calcium oxide (CaO) will dissolve in the Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution, producing a strong alkaline solution of Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). Simultaneously, during this process, there will be a phenomenon of temperature increase due to the chemical reaction between CaO and H2O2 being an exothermic reaction.
