For (Ca(OH) 2) (aq) , see limewater. For the application of slaked lime as a wall colorant, see limewash. Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca (OH) 2.It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium oxide (called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or  slaked  with water. suspension of fine calcium hydroxide particles in water is called milk of lime. The solution is called limewater and is a medium strength base that reacts with acids and attacks many metals. Limewater turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide due to formation of calcium carbonate, a process called carbonatation :
Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH) 2 is a strong base as are the hydroxides of the heavier alkaline earths, calcium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide and barium hydroxide. A solution/suspension of calcium hydroxide is known as limewater and can be used to test for the weak acid carbon dioxide.he hydroxide itself is insoluble in water, with a solubility product log K* sp of â11.7. Addition of acid gives soluble hydrolysis products, including the trimeric ion [Be 3 (OH) 3 (H 2 O) 6 ] 3+ , which has OH groups bridging between pairs of beryllium ions making a 6-membered ring.
