Question:"We have received several samples of ground limestone. One contains 45 per cent carbonate of magnesia and only 40 per cent carbonate of calcium; another contains 10 per cent carbonate of magnesia and 65 per cent carbonate of calcium. Is not the sample with the higher percentage of lime the better? Is magnesia an impurity in lime?"
Source of Question:Pennsylvania
Answer/Response:"Magnesia is not considered an impurity in lime. The value of carbonate of magnesia is equal to the value of carbonate of lime for agricultural purposes. Therfore the sample containing a total of 85 per cent carbonates of magnesia and lime is superior to the sample containing only 75 per cent of these two carbonates. The same is true of the oxides of lime and magnesia."
