acid rain

Calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate are effective in neutralizing the effects of acid rain on lakes. Suggest other compounds that might be effective in treating lakes. Give a plausible reason to explain why Ca OH 2 and CaCO3 are used.  Approximately 95% of the chlorine produced industrially comes from the electrolysis of sodium chloride solutions  brine : NaCl aq  + H2O l   Cl2 g  + H2 g  + NaOH aq  Chlorine is a respiratory irritant whose presence is easily detected by its penetrating odor and greenishyellow color. One use for the chlorine produced is in the manufacture of hydrochloric acid.
