Re: Soda Lime solution
Type "Soda Lime" into Google. The Wikipedia article gives the following information
Chemical components of Soda Lime
The main components of soda lime are
Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (about 75%),
Water, H2O (about 20%),
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH (about 3%), and
Potassium hydroxide, KOH (about 1%).
I have never made it myself, but this might be a starting place!
Cheers

Re: Soda Lime solution
Just be careful. It is recommended by school safety for use by yr 11 and 12 only. It is corrosive and toxic.
