Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 is a base and neutralizes acid.
When a solution is acidic it contains excess hydrogen (H+) ions, calcium produces the hydroxide ion (OH-) in water, which reacts wit h the H+ ions to produce water.
OH- + H+ --> H2O

One mole of calcium phosphide on reaction with excess of water gives what?
Calcium hydroxide and Phosphine gas
What would happen when Excess of calcium hydroxide in acidic soil?
PH increase
What is milk of lime?
the milk of lime is... wait for this... the lime of milk. ================================================================== Kidding aside from the first answer, milk of lime is another common name for limewater, a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide. It got its name from the process of its preparation, wherein excess calcium hydroxide is stirred in pure water and filtering off the excess insoluble Ca(OH)2. When excess calcium hydroxide is added to limewater, a suspension of calcium hydroxide particles remains, giving it a milky aspect, in which case it has the common name of milk of lime.
Calculate the theoretical yield of calcium chloride expected for this reaction if 0.80 mol of calcium hydroxide is reacted with excess hydrochloric acid.?
0.80
Is stomach ache medicine acidic or alkaline?
Alkaline. Magnesium Hydroxide (commonly known as Milk of Magnesia) is usually used to treat excess stomach acidity.
Calcium carbonate can be used as an antacid to treat excess stomach acidity What type of substance is calcium carbonate?
base.

A mass of 21.5 grams of calcium hydroxide reacts with an excess of phosphoric acid What mass of calcium phosphate could be recovered from solution?
31.6grams
What happens when excess of CO2 is passed through lime vessel?
If you think to calcium hydroxide, after the reaction with carbon dioxide calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is obtained.
Is stomach ache medicine acidic or alkaline?
Alkaline. Magnesium Hydroxide (commonly known as Milk of Magnesia) is usually used to treat excess stomach acidity.
What is known as the milk of lime?
When excess calcium hydroxide is added to limewater, a suspension of calcium hydroxide particles remains, giving it a milky aspect, in which case it has the common name of milk of lime. Milk of lime is an alkaline solution with a pH of 12.3.
What elements ease an upset stomach?
Most medications include antacids, which are weak bases (e.g. calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide) to neutralize excess stomach acid.
Antacids may contain which ion to reduce acidity?
Antacids commonly contain ions such as calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), or aluminum (Al3+) to reduce acidity in the stomach. These ions bind to excess stomach acid, neutralizing it and reducing the overall acidity of the stomach.
Why is calcium carbonate used to neutralize acidic water instead of calcium oxide?
Because if you over correct, excess calcium carbonate is all but harmless, whilst excess sodium hydroxide can be corrosive and toxic.
