| calcium oxalate | <chemical> Ethanedioic acid calcium salt. The calcium salt of oxalic acid, occurring in the urine as crystals and in certain calculi. Chemical name: Ethanedioic acid, calcium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium oxide | <chemical> A chemical compound with the formula CaO which is a whitish, odourless solid that does not dissolve well in water. It will, however, react with water (H20) to form calcium hydroxide (CaOH, a base). It has a melting point of 2614 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 2850 degrees Celsius. It can be made by heating calcium carbonate (CaCO3, limestone) until carbon dioxide (CO2) is released. It has a great many industrial uses. (09 Oct 1997) |
