The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Name**: The term "Soda Lime" suggests that it consists of two components: "Soda" and "Lime". This indicates that sodium (from "Soda") and calcium oxide (from "Lime") are involved. 2. **Identifying Components**: - "Soda" refers to sodium compounds, particularly sodium hydroxide (NaOH). - "Lime" refers to calcium oxide (CaO), which is also known as quick lime or burnt lime. 3. **Formation of Soda Lime**: Soda lime is typically a mixture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium oxide (CaO). It can also be formed by heating calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), which produces calcium oxide (CaO). 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the components identified, soda lime is a mixture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium oxide (CaO). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 2: NaOH and CaO. **Final Answer**: Soda Lime is a mixture of NaOH and CaO. ---
