Lime water is the common name for saturated calcium hydroxide solution. Its chemical formula is Ca(OH)2. Calcium hydroxide is only sparsely soluble, i.e. ca. 1.5g per liter at 25°C, there is no visible distinction to clear water. While Lime water is a clear solution, Milk of lime on the other hand is a suspension of calcium hydroxide particles in water. These particles give it the milky aspect. It is commonly produced by reacting quicklime, calcium oxide, with an excess of water - usually 4 to 8 times the amount of water to the amount of quicklime. Reacting water with quicklime is sometimes referred to as "slaking" the lime. The calcium oxide will convert to the hydroxide according to the following reaction scheme: CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 Milk of lime is an alkaline with a pH of 12.3. So lime water is basic in nature.

Historically the Americans refer to the British as 'Limey's' , after this fruit. The reason is because in days of sailing ships, there was a lack of fruit on board ships.

When these sailing ships reached shore, sailors ate limes, to replenish the Vitamin C , to prevent or arrest 'scurvy'. Hence limes to limeys.
