Q13.
(a) Limestone is a hard rock that is used as a building material.
Limestone was used by the Egyptians to make plaster.

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 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

It is also recommended that to avoid damage to health, the concentration of any particles
should be no higher than 2 parts per million (ppm).
Scientists were brought in to monitor the emissions from the cement work’s chimney.
They positioned four sensors around the cement works to monitor airborne smoke
particles.
These four sensors only detect particle sizes larger than 0.5 mm and measure the
concentration of particles in ppm. The scientists reported that the particle sensors showed
that the average concentration of particles was 1.8 ppm. The scientists concluded that
there was no risk to health.
