Calcium hydroxide - Ca(OH)2
No lime is not caustic-lye is.
Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide - NaOH. A formula cannot be "increased".
Slaked Lime is Hydrated and increases PH faster that agricultural lime. It is also more caustic.
The chemical formula of caustic soda, which is also known as sodium hydroxide, is NaOH.
NaHCO3
There are two types of barn lime. Ag lime or dolomite can be used to "sweeten" the chicken coop and area with no harm to the birds. Hydrated lime "burn lime" is caustic and should be kept away from Livestock including chickens.
The chemical formula of chloride of lime is Ca(ClO)2.
Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH
Some caustic bases: NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2 Some caustic acids: HCl, HClO4, HNO3 (Caustic usually refers to alkaline materials, not acidic ones)
1. For the bleaching powder see the link below; bleaching powders have very different formulations. 2. Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
Formula: CaO
Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
