The reaction scheme shows some reactions of calcium. [Figure: Reaction scheme showing Ca(s) to Ca(NO₃)₂(aq) via HNO₃ (reaction 1), then to Ca(OH)₂(aq) via NaOH(aq). From Ca(OH)₂(aq) to CaO(s) via heat (reaction 2, CO₂(g) byproduct), then from CaO(s) to CaCO₃(s) + H₂O(l) (reaction 3, excess CO₂(g) involved). From CaCO₃(s) + H₂O(l) to Ca(HCO₃)₂(aq) via excess CO₂(g). Also from CaO(s) to CaC₂(s) via C(s) (reaction 4).]
