thank you😁

u guys should not confuse yourselves oni u searched for soda lime only and that is cao but my school gave u soda lime formula i.e CaO+H2O=Ca(OH)2 my school gave u the formula meanwhile u only searched for the name next time search for the balanced equation and formula. and also for clear explaination they used the compound in large form or try typing Ca(OH)2 and NaOH whether it is a correct combination
