Slaked Lime is Calcium Hydroxide [also known as Lime Water] Lime Water is used to detect the presence of Carbon Dioxide:

Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)

Calcium Carbonate [Chalk: CaCO3] is insoluble in water and so is deposited as a precipitate upon completion of the reaction: The Lime Water turns 'chalky'

What is the solid calcium hydroxide solution sometimes called?

The solid calcium hydroxide solution is sometimes called slaked lime or hydrated lime.


What is the difference between slaked lime and lime water?

When you slake a lime an leave it for a few months, there will be a layer of water (providing you used a sufficient amount) ontop of the slaked lime putty. this water is limewater and is clear but contains tiny particles in suspension. The putty is what we refer to as slaked lime.


What is the chemical formula of slaked lime?

Chemical name- Calcium hydroxide Chemical formula- Ca (OH)2


What are the differences between hydrated lime and slaked lime, and how do they compare in terms of their properties and uses?

Hydrated lime and slaked lime are both forms of calcium hydroxide, but they differ in how they are produced. Hydrated lime is made by adding water to quicklime, while slaked lime is made by adding water to lime putty. In terms of properties, hydrated lime is a dry powder that is more stable and easier to handle, while slaked lime is a wet paste that is less stable and can harden over time. Hydrated lime is commonly used in construction, agriculture, and water treatment, while slaked lime is often used in traditional building materials and as a chemical reagent. Overall, hydrated lime is more versatile and widely used compared to slaked lime due to its easier handling and broader range of applications.


What is another name for slaked lime?

Another name for slaked lime is milk lime, or quick lime. It is chemically known as calcium hydroxide. CaOH2

What is the nature of the aqueous solution of slaked lime?

The aqueous solution of slaked lime, or calcium hydroxide, is basic in nature. It can react with acidic substances to form salts and water. Slaked lime is often used to neutralize acidic soils or in water treatment to remove impurities.

Is there any difference in lime water and slaked lime . If any why do you use different name?

Yes, there is a difference. Slaked lime is the term used to refer to solid calcium hydroxide, and lime water is a calcium hydroxide solution. Admittedly, two distinct terms seems like overkill, but it happens a lot... for example, "salt" and "brine" is essentially the same situation. The terms are historical, and most chemists would just say "calcium hydroxide" and "calcium hydroxide solution" instead.


How is slaked lime produce?

Why does slaked lime give a more immediate response than agricultural lime?

Slaked Lime is Hydrated and increases PH faster that agricultural lime. It is also more caustic.

Is slaked lime produced from hydrated lime?

Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2.It is a colourless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium oxide (CaO, called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or "slaked" with water.CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2
