If you mean Ca rather than Co then it is Calcium Hydroxide or slaked lime.

Cobalt (II) Hydroxide...
This is an ionic compound, so it gets named as follows:
1. The name of the first element (cation) stays the same.
2. The name of the second element or polyatomic ion (anion) uses
its stem name, plus the suffix -ide.
3. Transition metals get their charges named because they carry
multiple charges.
So:
1. Co= Cobalt --> stays the same
2. (OH)= Hydroxide (that is the name of the polyatomic
ion...these need to be memorized)
3. The charge on Cobalt needs to be named because it is a
transition metal (in the lower middle region of Periodic
Table). It is two, because the whole unit has a charge of
zero, and OH carries a charge of -1, and we know there are
two of them, so Co has to carry a charge of +2. Therefore,
the name of the formula is Cobalt (II) Hyrdroxide.
