The component of lime, calcium hydroxide, has a pH of 12.5. This makes it a good neutralizing agent for acid spill in the laboratory. During a laboratory exercise you spill what amounts to 32.5g of sulfuric acid. Knowing that you need a base to neutralize the reaction you go to the cabinet and retrieve the calcium hydroxide. You weigh 32.5g of it to begin the reaction. Did you succeed in neutralizing the reaction?
