Additional Information for Soda Lime
Soda lime is a mixture of chemicals commonly used in various applications, including as a carbon dioxide absorbent in medical and laboratory settings. It is typically composed of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and water (H2O). The main purpose of soda lime is to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air or gas being circulated, such as in anesthesia machines or rebreathing systems.
When soda lime is exposed to carbon dioxide, a chemical reaction occurs where the carbon dioxide reacts with the hydroxide ions in the soda lime to form carbonate compounds. This reaction helps to effectively remove carbon dioxide from the air or gas stream.
Soda lime is often used in medical procedures where the patient's breathing needs to be controlled, such as during anesthesia or respiratory therapy. It helps to maintain a safe and controlled level of carbon dioxide in the patient's breathing circuit.
It is important to note that soda lime is a consumable material and needs to be replaced regularly to ensure its effectiveness. The color of the soda lime changes from white to purple or pink when it becomes exhausted and can no longer absorb carbon dioxide efficiently.
Overall, soda lime plays a crucial role in maintaining proper gas exchange and ensuring patient safety in medical and laboratory settings where carbon dioxide removal is necessary.
