We need some data to answer your question.

Explanation:

We interrogate the reaction,

Ca(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq) rarr CaCl_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)

Now even without looking for the data, it is a fact that DeltaG^@ for the given reaction is NEGATIVE at most lab temperatures, and thus in accord with the experimental result.

To quantify this problem we need DeltaG_f^@ for the reactants and the products.
