In this video we explore one way of making calcium hydroxide using easy to find Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Calcium Chloride (CaCl2). Sodium hydroxide can be sound as Lye or in many crystal drain openers. If using a drain opener first verify it is truly pure sodium hydroxide. Calcium Chloride is sold as DampRid, but can be found in many other moisture absorbing products as well.
In this experiment solutions containing 60g Calcium Chloride and 40g Sodium Hydroxide are reacted to precipitate Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2
This will eventually be used to attempt isolating Calcium metal for an element collection as well as other various experiments.
