Calcium hydroxide is a chemical compound that functions as a pH regulator in experimental applications. It acts by releasing hydroxide ions, which can neutralize acidic solutions and raise the pH level. Calcium hydroxide mode of action involves the dissociation of calcium hydroxide into calcium and hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. The hydroxide ions react with hydrogen ions from the acidic solution, forming water and increasing the pH. This process is particularly useful in experiments where precise control of pH levels is necessary, such as in the preparation of culture media for cell culture or in certain chemical reactions. Calcium hydroxide can be used to precipitate certain impurities from solutions, aiding in the purification of experimental samples. Its ability to regulate pH and facilitate purification processes makes it a chemical in various experimental.
