Calcium Oxide- 1 Kg Packs

Calcium Oxide is an inorganic basic oxide that reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide. This reaction provides a useful educational example of how an oxide interacts with water and forms an alkaline compound.

It can support supervised school science demonstrations and practical exercises, as well as college and university teaching activities involving basic oxides, alkaline substances, and acid-base chemistry. The reaction with water can also help students observe chemical change and discuss heat release.

As a general laboratory chemical, Calcium Oxide is suitable for educational experimental work where its reactivity is relevant to the lesson or practical. It can be included among chemistry laboratory supplies for teaching purposes.

Handle carefully using appropriate laboratory protection, particularly because its reaction with water is exothermic. Store according to applicable safety guidance.
