Correct Answer: Calcium hydroxide


Solution : The correct answer is Calcium hydroxide .

Lime water contains calcium hydroxide, which is a strong base. The chemical formula for calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH) 2 . When calcium oxide (quicklime) reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, resulting in lime water. The hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from calcium hydroxide make it a base.
