Soda lime is used in the experiment to absorb carbon dioxide produced during the combustion of organic compounds. This helps ensure that all the carbon in the compound is converted to carbon dioxide, which is then captured in a separate tube for further analysis. The absence of soda lime would result in incomplete combustion and inaccurate determination of the carbon content in the compound.
