  2. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

    Calcium hydroxide is moderately soluble in water, as seen for many dihydroxides. Its solubility increases from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. [8] Its solubility product K sp of 5.02 × 10 −6 at 25 °C, [1] its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(material)

    Pure lime is also known as rich, common, air, slaked, slack, pickling, hydrated, and high calcium lime. It consists primarily of calcium hydroxide which is derived by slaking quicklime (calcium oxide), and may contain up to 5% of other ingredients. Pure lime sets very slowly through contact with carbon dioxide in the air and moisture; it is not ...

  6. Lime softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_softening

    This action causes calcium carbonate to precipitate due to exceeding the solubility product. Additionally, magnesium can be precipitated as magnesium hydroxide in a double displacement reaction. [3] In the process both the calcium (and to an extent magnesium) in the raw water as well as the calcium added with the lime are precipitated.
