so..how would i know if it is already a quicklime? what would be some significations of the sample becoming a quicklime? I'm working on a research paper concerning the utilization of mussel shells as a component in making tiles and since quicklime which could be obtained from chalk, lmestones, marble and seashells could be an alternative to cement and would need some advices from you.^__^
@Greenfulness I'm actually using marble, but limestone does the same. Limestone is calcium carbonate so it decomposes to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
I wonder if the chalk you are using is for writing with, and so is calcium sulfate based?

@HUGZ012 Different texture and different reactions.
Limestone is calcium carbonate - relatively inert, although it reacts with acids (like all carbonates) to produce a salt, water and CO2
Quicklime is calcium oxide. Tends to be "softer". Reacts with water as seen further on in the video.
