Question
A small piece of calcium metal is put into a small trough containing water. There is effervescence and white turbidity is formed.
What do you observe when a few drops of red litmus solution are added to the turbid solution.

Solution
If dilute hydrochloric acid is added to the turbid solution, then they react and neutralize each other, forming the soluble salt calcium chloride (CaCl2) and water.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + 2H2O
