Calcium hydroxide is a strong base. Calcium hydroxide is only slightly soluble in water. But whatever dissolved in water is completely dissociated into its constituent ions, Ca2+ and OH- making it a strong base. The concentration of OH- ions is twice as the concentration of Ca2+. Ca(OH)2(aq) --> Ca2+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) Pushpa Padmanabhan

Is CaOH2 an acid a base or a salt?
Acid. It's actually a base (calcium hydroxide) sometimes called "slaked lime".
What is the acid and base of 2hf caoh2-----caf2 2h2o?
2hf + caoh2 = CaF2 + 2H2O Acid is 'hf' ; hydrofluoric acid Base is 'caoh2' ; calcium hydroxide. NB When writing chemcial formula , single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter symbols are always ; first letter is a capital letter and the secons letter is small case. This is the internationally agreed standard. Otherwise confusion reigns. So 'hf' should be 'HF' (Hydrogen(H) and Fluorine(F) 'caoh"' should be 'Ca(OH)2' ( Calcium (Ca) , Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H)). The suffix '2' indicates that there are two hydroxide anions, which are shown in brackets. As written by yourself 'caoh2' indicates 1 x calcium , 1 x oxygen and 2 x hydrogen. Hope that helps for future reference!!!!

Is CaOH2 a base?
Calcium Hydroxide, or CaOH2, is a base. Generally compounds containing hydroxyl groups and metals will act as bases in reaction.
Is CaOH2 an acid a base or a salt?
Acid. It's actually a base (calcium hydroxide) sometimes called "slaked lime".
