Yes, it absorbs all the moisture. Its like the thing they have in new bags at the shops. Those little things that look a bit like tea bags.
sodium hydroxide is a secondary standard because it absorb the moisture from the air and its concentration will change
Ca(OH)2 is a colorless crystal or white powder. It is prepared by reacting calcium oxide(lime) with water,a process called slaking. It is a strong base and is used as a suspension in water (milk of lime);
Limewater is a solution made of Calcium Hydroxide and water. Calcium Hydroxide is found in things like oyster shells and bird eggs. There are many uses including food preparation, creating paint and topical medicines.
At water treatment plants, calcium hydroxide is added in order to up the alkalinity and pH of the water. This makes the water less corrosive to pipes. Aluminum sulfate is used to make impurities coagulate.
calcium hydroxide topical solution is used in prepearing various astringent formulations for topical application to the skin and mukous membranes.
calcium hydroxide is used to neuralise the acidity in soil
Calcium hydroxide is used to test for carbon dioxide because the product of the reaction, calcium carbonate, is insoluble, and easily visible.
Calcium chloride
Aluminum hydroxide and Ammonia, Calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. Aluminum hydroxide is used in color fast fabrics and water purification. ammonia is used in cleaners and fertilizer, Calcium hydroxide is used in leather making and mortar and plaster making. sodium hydroxide is used to make soap.
Calcium hydroxide many varied uses. It is used to make mortar or plaster, it is used by dentists during a root canal, and it can be used as a hair straightener just to name a few.
Calcium chloride is typically used to remove moisture from the air because of its deliquescent properties. It can also be used to melt ice because of its high heat of solution.
Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide. Acetylene is extremely flammable, giving a colorless flame. The calcium hydroxide present gives the flame its visibility. Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide. Acetylene is extremely flammable, giving a colorless flame. The calcium hydroxide present gives the flame its visibility.
When exposed to air, calcium chloride can absorb moisture and become hydrated, forming a white, powdery substance. It is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water molecules in the air. This property allows calcium chloride to be used as a desiccant to remove excess moisture from the air.
It's used "for processing water (for alcoholic and soft drinks)" -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide
Calcium sulfate is used as water absorbent.
Calcium hydroxide solution is used to detect the presence of carbon bi oxide. When carbon bi oxide is passed through the solution of calcium hydroxide, it turns milky white. There is formation of calcium carbonate particle. This is what was taught to me as a kid in my school.
Calcium Hydroxide & Ammonia Solution & Sodium Hydroxide. Are the Common Alkalis you find in a Lab
