Why is lime water basic in nature?

Answer»

Limewater is the common name for a diluted SOLUTION of calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide, CA(OH)2, is sparsely SOLUBLE in water (1.5 g/L at 25 °C)
. Pure limewater is CLEAR and colorless, with a slight earthy smell and an alkaline bitter taste of calcium hydroxide. The term lime refers to the alkaline mineral, and is unrelated to the acidic FRUIT
