Rate of hydration (slaking) does not depend on:(a) Degree of burning of lime(b) Degree of agitation(c) Atmospheric conditions(d) Composition of lime

Answer» Correct answer is (c) Atmospheric conditions

Easiest explanation: Over and under burned lime is undesirable.  Composition of lime (pure, clay) are important to determine slaking.  Pure lime slakes vigorously.  Slaking is carried in tank in closed conditions.  Too little agitation results in uneven mixing and leads to drowning or unhydrated particles of CaO.
