•        left each mixture to set hard

•        dropped a metal ball from increasing height_s until the mortar cracked

•        recorded the results in a table.

Q8.          (a)     Limestone is a hard rock that is used as a building material. Limestone was used by the Egyptians to make plaster.

          Reaction 1 – calcium carbonate, CaCO3, was decomposed by heating limestone

            CaCO3  →  CaO  +   CO

2

          Reaction 2 – water was added to the solid produced to make slaked lime

            CaO   +   H2O   →  Ca(OH)

2

          Reaction 3 – a mixture of slaked lime and water was used as plaster. After the plaster                      had set it became even harder with age

            Ca(OH)2   +   CO

2  →   CaCO

3   +   H
