    Question: Calcium hydroxide has a neutralizing value (calcium carbonate equivalent) of __________.

    Options:

    179%
    136%
    109%
    100%

    ✅Explanation:
    The neutralizing value or calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) is a measure of a material's ability to neutralize acidity, compared to pure calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which has a CCE of 100%. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) has a higher CCE than calcium carbonate because it has two hydroxide ions (OH⁻) per molecule, which can neutralize more acid than the single carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) in calcium carbonate. The CCE of calcium hydroxide is approximately 136%.

    • Here are some other neutralizing values for different liming materials:
    -Calcium carbonate: 100%
    -Calcium-magnesium carbonate: 109%
    -Calcium oxide: 179%
    -Magnesium carbonate: 119%
    -Magnesium hydroxide: 172%
