MCQ
Calcium oxide is prepared by heating :
  • A
    $\ce{CaCO_3}$ in Castner$-$Kellner cell.
  • $\ce{CaCO_3}$ in rotary kiln.
  • C
    $\ce{Ca(HCO_3)_2}$ in rotary kiln.
  • D
    $\ce{Ca(HCO_3)_2}$ in Castner$-$Kellner cell.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\ce{CaCO_3}$ in rotary kiln.
Calcium oxide is prepared on a commercial scale by heating $\ce{CaCO_3}$ in a rotary kiln at $1070$ to $1270K.$
$\text{CaCO}_3\xrightarrow[1070-1270^\circ\text{C}]{ \ \ \ \ \text{Heat} \ \ \ \ }\text{CaO}+\text{CO}_2$
