Calicum combines with oxygen in the air to form Calcium oxide

Ca + \frac{1}{2}O_2 \rightarrow CaO

Calcium oxide on further treatment with water to form Calcium hydroxide

CaO + H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2

Atomic Weight of Ca = 40;  

Molecular weight of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56;

Molecular weight of Ca(OH)_2 = 40 + (2 x 17) = 40 + 34 = 74

We know that 40g of Calcium produces 74g of Ca(OH)_2

Therefore, 1g of Ca is equivalent to 74/40 g of Ca(OH)_2 = 1.85g

We know that the equivalent weight of Ca(OH)_2 is 37

Therefore, 1.85/37  = 0.05g equivalent of Ca(OH)_2  

Finally, if 0.05g is dissolved in 1L then we get 0.05N of Ca(OH)_2.
