CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Carbon dioxide in the gas you put the limewter near reacts with calcium hydroxde to form white particle solids of calcium carbonate which is sparing soluble. you see these particles as a suspension, much like milk

When dilute nitric acid was added to a solution of one of the following chemicals, a gas was evolved. This gas turned a drop of limewater, Ca(OH)2, cloudy, due to the formation of a white precipitate. The chemical was
A) household ammonia, NH3
B) baking soda, NaHCO3
C) table salt, NaCl
D) epsom salts, MgSO4 * 7H20
E) bleach, 5% NaOCl

It might be A or B.


It is C) NaCl i just did this reaction today

Lime water is nothing but a solution of Calcium oxide in water. Calcium oxide reacts exothermically with water to form calcium hydroxide. The solution of Calcium Hydroxide is initially clear. However, due to reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide, soluble Calcium Hydroxide gets converted to insoluble calcium carbonate. As a result the solution appears cloudy. Similar result is obtained if carbon dioxide is bubbled for a short time through lime water. Dr S P Deshpande, India

The carbon dioxide is added to the lime water which creates small amounts of chalk which turns the water cloudy but as the chalk is insoluble it doesn't dissolve so it settles I think

the lime water will turn cloudy


What happens to the lime water as carbon dioxide mixes?

It turns from a clear, colourless substance to a cloudy, whitish precipitate


What happens when carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water?

It turns cloudy (or milky). Lime water is calcium hydrogen carbonate dissolved in water. When it comes into contact with carbon dioxide, they react together to make calcium carbonate (chalk), which is white and less soluble in water. So the fine white precipitate that forms makes the solution turn cloudy.


Why does lime water go cloudy?

Lime water goes cloudy when a reaction takes place with carbon dioxide. Lime water detects the presence of lime water.
