Soda lime is a mixture primarily consisting of calcium hydroxide which is used to remove carbon dioxide gas ( CO2) from the surrounding medium.
The reaction of calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide produces a white insoluble precipitate of calcium carbonate.
The chemical equation for the reaction is given below.
From the above equation we can see that the mole ratio of Ca(OH)₂ and CaCO₃ is 1:1 . This can be used as a conversion factor to find moles of CaCO₃ formed during the reaction
Using molar mass of CaCO3 ( MW = 100.1 g/mol) we can convert moles of CaCO3 to grams.
200.2 grams of the precipitate will be produced.
