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'
The solid calcium hydroxide solution is sometimes called slaked lime or hydrated lime.
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.
Chemical name- Calcium hydroxide Chemical formula- Ca (OH)2
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.
Another name for slaked lime is milk lime, or quick lime. It is chemically known as calcium hydroxide. CaOH2
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.
quicklime is the common name for calcium oxide (CaO). when added to water it forms slaked lime which is the name for clacium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). slaked lime solution is also commonly know as lime water

Slaked lime is Calcium Hydroxide - Ca(OH)2
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.
is it produced by lime stone :)
Slaked Lime is Hydrated and increases PH faster that agricultural lime. It is also more caustic.
Chemical name- Calcium hydroxide Chemical formula- Ca (OH)2
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
