What Is Calcium Oxide (Quicklime) Used For?
Adding water drop by drop to a few granules of calcium oxide in a beaker produces a hissing, steaming reaction and a clear rise in temperature as slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) forms — the combination reaction described in many school science textbooks. Filtering a suspension of the product gives limewater for the carbon dioxide test.
The oxide also links to lessons on the lime cycle, in which limestone is heated to form quicklime, slaked with water and turned back into calcium carbonate as limewater absorbs carbon dioxide; college labs also use it to dry gases such as ammonia. Because quicklime is corrosive and reacts with moisture in the air and on skin, handle it with a spatula, wear goggles and gloves, and keep the lid tightly closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 used for?
Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 is used to show the exothermic reaction of quicklime with water, to prepare calcium hydroxide and limewater, and to teach the lime cycle. It also serves as a drying agent for some gases in college laboratories.
What form and pack size is this Calcium Oxide?
This Calcium Oxide, product code SCI-571/159, is supplied as granules of analytical reagent grade in a 200 g pack with an MSDS. Granules are easier to dispense than fine powder and raise less dust during the slaking demonstration.
Why must Calcium Oxide (Granules) be kept tightly closed?
Calcium Oxide (Granules) absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, slowly turning into calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate, which weakens its reaction with water. Store Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 tightly sealed in a dry cabinet.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Oxide (Granules)?
The shelf life of Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keeping the container sealed against air and moisture preserves its reactivity.
Is Calcium Oxide (Granules) safe to handle?
Calcium Oxide (Granules) is corrosive and releases heat when it meets water, including moisture on skin or in the eyes. Handle Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 with a spatula, wear goggles and gloves, and follow the first-aid guidance in the MSDS supplied with each pack.
Who supplies Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Calcium Oxide (Granules) SCI-571/159 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is a sourced chemical, and GSTIN and LEI details are available for vendor registration.
