Soda lime ACS is a white or grey solid that is a mixture of calcium hydroxide and sodium or potassium hydroxide. This compound is soluble in water with the release of heat. Its chemical formula is CaHNaO2. Additionally, it contains a pH-sensitive indicator dye, such as phenolphthalein, which changes color as the soda lime absorbs carbon dioxide (CO?) from the surrounding environment. The primary constituents, sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, act as strong bases that readily react with acidic gases like CO?. Due to its ability to absorb carbon dioxide, soda lime is valuable in many industrial procedures.
