Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium bicarbonate is formed by the reaction between water, carbon dioxide, and lime (calcium oxide). Dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) and magnesium bicarbonate do not contain enough calcium to form calcium bicarbonate. Carbon dioxide and sunlight are used in photosynthesis by plants, but do not form calcium bicarbonate on their own. Oxygen is not needed for the formation of calcium bicarbonate.
