Answer ( Option A)

Statement 1 is correct and 2 is incorrect

Solution

Statement 1 is correct. Quick lime (CaO) is obtained by the calcination of comparatively pure limestone (CaCO3).

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

Statement 2 is incorrect. Lime that can set and harden under water is called hydraulic lime, not fat lime. Fat lime requires

exposure to air for setting and does not set under water

Hence, Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect.
