Where is it found? How is it obtained? Natural Abundance?
When reacted with water, CaO, can be turned into calcium hydroxide. Whenever Lime (CaO) can be reacted with water, with the assistance of heat, hydrated lime can be created. For the most part, Calcium Hydroxide is produced in a laboratory, reacted under controlled conditions. Naturally, calcium hydroxide is quite abundant.
