Question:

What is the purpose of lime water?

I am taking general chemistry and I am stuck on what is the purpose for lime water, why it's used in experiments, and why it must be transparent before using it as a test?

Answer:

I am not a expert on lime but I don't think it will ward off ants. Lime is normally used to sweeten the soil or neutralize acidic soils. I think Seven Dust would work better indoors and outside for ant control, just be aware it may not be good for pets to get into it.
